Highway and trains connect commuters to Boston
Residents have quick access to U.S. Route 1, located on the neighborhood’s east side.

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority buses stop along Broadway and Salem Street, taking passengers to Malden Center, where MBTA trains stop on their way to and from North Station in Boston.
