The community also offers close access to the rest of Greater Boston, with roads and public transportation options just a short walk from many condos and single-family homes. “The area is more affordable than other parts of Boston—that’s what it is known for,” says Michelle Tenaglia, a Coldwell Banker Realtor who has been serving the Boston area for almost 6 years.
