Suffolk Square is close to downtown stores and restaurants
Suffolk Square is a neighborhood near downtown Malden, a community in the Boston area. “I think the draw here is that we’re just a few miles north of Boston,” says Kristin Gennetti, a Realtor and team leader with the Kristin Gennetti Group, part of Century 21 North East. Convenience is a primary draw here, with access to downtown Malden’s revitalized shops and restaurants, and the greater Boston area thanks to a range of transportation options. “A big part of the appeal here is the proximity to the developing downtown and the ability to walk to so many things,” Gennetti says. In part due to that convenience, the housing market tends to have low inventory and rising appreciation.
A mix of styles and home types in an appreciating market
Housing in Suffolk Square is a mix of varied options. The neighborhood is majority renters by population, and the remaining properties are a mix of single-family homes and condos. The latter cost from $305,000 to $500,000, while single-family homes can range in price from $513,000 to $840,000. “Suffolk Square has come up a bit in pricing,” Gennetti says. “Because it’s somewhat close to downtown Malden, I’m starting to see homes really appreciate there.” The market moves fast, which keeps inventory low; on average, homes are listed only 19 days. Styles include Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and some ranch-style homes, such as those along Sammet and Suffolk streets. Several multi-family units have sold recently, too. “We just had a multi-family that went for $1.2 million,” Gennetti says.
Quaint homes with fenced in yards can be spotted throughout the scenic Suffolk Square neighborhood.

Several strip malls line the edges of the neighborhood, including Broadway Plaza and Route 60 Plaza.
