Suburban living in America’s backyard
Lexington is proud of its designation as the “Birthplace of American Liberty.” Located only 13 miles northwest of downtown Boston, Lexington was the site of the first battle of the American Revolution in 1775, known forever as the destination of Paul Revere’s midnight ride and the “shot heard ‘round the world.” East Lexington has its own role in Lexington’s early history, an alluring neighborhood both past and present. East Lexington is a neighborhood teeming with a rich history. East Lexington — known by most locals as East Village — has its own role in Lexington’s early history, as it was initially the center of commerce within Lexington. “East Lexington was closer to Boston, so it was the first area of Lexington that was developed,” says Lester Savage, a longtime local Realtor with Lester E. Savage Real Estate. East Lexington has become a residential neighborhood but still enjoys a rich history and an immediate proximity to Boston. “Today, the area is relatively quiet, and you don’t get many highway or airplane noises there,” adds Savage.
Idyllic homes in a competitive market
East Lexington provides residents with a quaint suburban setting, where most homes are set off from the sleepy streets behind generous and meticulously maintained lawns. Sidewalks and curbs are scant, but a canopy of lush greenery hugs the roads. Some of East Lexington’s homes date back to the late 1800s, but Savage says home buyers can also expect to find several early-to-mid-1900s examples. “Most of the homes here are in the colonial and Cape Cod styles that you’d expect to find in a Boston suburb, but there are also several interesting contemporary or midcentury modern homes,” Savage says. The available homes typically range from about $700,000 to more than $2 million, and the market in East Lexington is competitive regardless of the interest rates or national trends.
