Residents can stroll along pleasent neighborhood sidewalks all around the Lawrence Estates area.
Desirable sidewalk-lined Boston suburb
In the suburban town of Medford, about 7 miles northwest of downtown Boston, lies Lawrence Estates, a sought-after enclave of peaceful, leafy sidewalk-lined streets and charming vintage homes. “Lawrence Estates is one of the nicer neighborhoods in town,” says Jennifer Keenan, a longtime Medford resident and Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Boston-Northwest. “It’s a popular homes that’s easily accessible to Medford Square, either by foot or by car.” Keenan adds, “It’s a lovely spot. A lovely place to live.”
Vintage colonials of all shapes and sizes
Lawrence Estates has a mix of single-family homes, mostly built in the early-to-mid 20th century. Colonial is the predominant home style, but home seekers will also find other styles sprinkled in, including gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonials and Tudor Revivals with pitched roof-covered doorways. “The single-family homes in Lawrence Hills feel grander than houses in other parts of town. There are a lot of center entrance colonials that have a real stately feel and are solidly built,” Keenan says. “And the homes are on what we would consider large lots.” Home sizes range from 1,200 to 4,500 square feet with two to five bedrooms, and prices span from $640,000 to over $1.6 million. “When homes in Lawrence Estates go on the market, they typically sell within a week,” Keenan says. “People tend to stay in those homes for 20 years or more, so there’s not always a lot of inventory. As soon as a house hits the market, there are usually a lot of people waiting and eager to see it.”

Only slightly further afield is another Salem Street culinary experience: FiorItaly Trattoria, where Chef Gabriele Ascione crafts authentic southern Italian dishes inspired by his homeland.
