An affordable and convenient Malden neighborhood
Less than 2 miles east of Malden’s center is the Maplewood community, a small neighborhood that converges into Maplewood Square, the area's namesake. Here, residents will find a variety of shopping and dining options and will likely run into someone they know while out running errands. 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.
