Quiet life in Upper Walnut Creek with fun nearby
Large ponds, the country’s second-largest park and popular shopping destinations surround the Upper Walnut Street neighborhood. “It’s a quiet suburb community with easy access to parks and shopping,” says Colleen Toner, the broker and owner of Toner Real Estate, LLC. Residents relax in their Cape Cod homes after a long day of enjoying the outdoors or visiting nearby restaurants. Toner says locals move to the area to find more affordable homes than those in Boston while still having access to the busy city with U.S. Route 1 nearby.

Cape Cods with small yards and calm streets
Single-family ranch homes, raised ranches and Cape Cods fill the Upper Walnut Street neighborhood. “A few new townhouses are being built, but most homes are Cape Cods from the 1950s,” says Toner. Cars often sit on uncovered driveways or in the street. Light-colored siding and shingle roofs make the homes stand out against the nearby clusters of trees. A three-bedroom Cape Cod can sell for $450,000. A Colonial Revival with four bedrooms and a moderate yard can sell for $780,000 or more. Many homes sell within a week, but a few might sit on the market for up to a month.
