North Medford
Variety of historic homes throughout the community
Real estate professional Hudson Santana, founder and CEO of Santana Team says, "In North Medford, you’ll see a mix of single-family homes, multifamily residences and condominiums.” On Elm Street, there are condominium buildings from the 1980s with two-bedroom units priced just below $500,000. There are Queen Anne-style homes on Watervale Road, and on Aquavia Road, there are Tudor-styles, as well as colonials with stone facades that are fetching $620,000. You’ll find early 1900s bungalows priced just under $600,000 on Fulton Street and on Highland Avenue, you’ll see 1940s colonials going for about $800,000.Home to a selection of family-friendly outdoor activities
The neighborhood is home to several areas that allow you to get outside for a bit. Let the kids burn off some extra energy at Carr Park on Winslow Avenue, a small space with a variety of swings and climbing structures. When the weather warms, head to the beach at Wright’s Pond, a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is staffed with lifeguards from June until August and is only available to Medford residents. Sign the kids up for skating lessons or youth hockey at Flynn Rink, an indoor rink that is often used for kids’ birthday parties. You can also hike the trails at Cross Fells Trailhead, part of a network of trails that crisscrosses through the northern part of the area. The neighborhood is even home to an outdoor calisthenics park that offers basic fitness equipment and instructions for using it.Zoned for Medford Public Schools
When school is in session, area students can attend Medford Public Schools, a district with a B- Niche rating. Students at Roberts Elementary School begin taking fine arts classes in kindergarten. Students at Andrews Middle School are offered a well-rounded educational experience that includes core academic courses, athletic opportunities and special interest clubs. At Medford High School, which has a B+ Niche rating, students can participate in a variety of extracurricular activities, including anime club, garden club and Mustang News, the school newspaper. Santana notes that Medford High has a fairly new school building as well as a reputable sports program.Local shopping and dining within walking distance
Jim’s Market, located on Fulton Street, is the neighborhood go-to for breakfast sandwiches and steak and cheese subs. Locals will tell you that the family-owned market also has delicious curly fries and is a convenient shop with a few grocery items. You can also pick up snacks, drinks and some essentials at People’s Food Mart.Getting around North Medford

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
