Easy commute to downtown Boston
Medford Hillside, a pocket in the City of Medford, is a commuter’s haven. Residents have proximity to a brand-new station along the Boston-area subway system’s Green Line. It's one of the many reasons residents love this neighborhood near Tufts University. “If you had a choice, for transportation purposes, you’d want to be in the Hillside areas.” says local Realtor John Veneziano, of RE/MAX Andrew Realty. Medford Hillside has an urban disposition, densely populated by a collection of primarily early 20th-century homes.
Housing in high demand
Most of the homes here have colonial styling and feature multifamily layouts. There's also a fair share of tenant-occupied properties, many of which are leased by Tufts University students, with a price range of $3,000 to $5,000 per month. Housing demand in Medford Hillside is fierce, just as it is elsewhere in the city. “There is a great demand in the entire city of Medford because of housing shortages,” says Veneziano. Single-digit inventory in Medford is routine, and sale prices have risen. Properties in Medford Hillside can sell for anywhere from $700,000 to $1.3 million.

The Medford Hillside is a quick thirty-minute subway ride in and out of Boston.
Green Line
Boston commuters can quickly hop on the Green Line to reach the state capital. The city’s Green Line Extension project brought the Medford/Tufts stop to the area in December 2022. Riders can reach Downtown Boston in just over 30 minutes. “The transportation’s definitely the key for why people would want to live there,” Veneziano says. The station sits on the thoroughfare of Boston Avenue, right across from Tufts University.
Dining on Boston Avenue
Convenience stores, restaurants, cafes, and other eateries can be found on Boston Avenue. “The restaurants all seem to be popular because I’m always waiting in line,” says Veneziano. Tasty Cafe & Kitchen is one of those well-regarded spots. Patrons especially enjoy the restaurant’s filling Portuguese-style Francesinha sandwiches, slathered with melted cheese. Across the street, The Danish Pastry House serves specialty lattes, cakes, cookies and other baked goods. About a half-mile north, Whole Foods Market provides organic produce.
