Comfortable Lexington neighborhood with great schools and commuter access
Although just a mile from Lexington’s town center, Prospect Hill’s side streets and properties among the woods feel private and tranquil. Located about 13 miles northwest of downtown Boston, the neighborhood’s well-maintained properties, highly rated schools and immediate proximity to recreational facilities and cultural attractions make it an appealing community. “It’s a wonderful neighborhood: family-friendly, great commuter access and very walkable,” says Lester Savage, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Lexington.

Construction is expected to begin in 2027, finishing in time for the 2029-2030 school year.

Swimming at the Old Reservoir and other recreational facilities
The Old Reservoir, often referred to as the "Old Res,” has a small shoreline open for swimmers, canoers and anglers who want to use the body of water. “It’s not used as a reservoir anymore; it’s now the town beach,” Savage says. “They have aquatic programs and educational day camps, and sometimes in the winter, when it’s cold enough, you’ll see kids ice skating and playing hockey out there.” For more swimming, the Center Recreation Complex has four town pools, including a lap pool and wading pool. Residents and nonresidents can purchase seasonal or day passes to swim at the recreation center and Old Reservoir. Additionally, Lincoln Park has several turf fields, a playground and paved walking trails with fitness equipment. Across the street from the park is Temple Isaiah, a synagogue that’s been active in Lexington for 60 years.
