South Medford is a lively neighborhood that's home to Tufts University
If you’ve “done your research”, you probably know that South Medford is an attractive neighborhood largely because of the presence of the esteemed Tufts University, a private research-focused university established in 1852. Real estate professional Hudson Santana, founder and CEO of Santana Team says, “That’s what makes this part of the city so desirable.” The university brings in a lot of revenue to South Medford, which is home for many of its students, professors and staff. Folks who aren’t affiliated with Tufts may still appreciate the vibe of a walkable, happening academic area.
Variety of housing, with condos being the most common option
Most folks live in condominiums here which Santana says tend to run “about $1.3 million for a 3,000-square-foot unit.” There are some four-bedroom units from the 1900s on Willard Avenue that are priced just below $900,000. On Main Street, you’ll see quite a few multi-family properties and mid-rise buildings with two-bedroom penthouse units that are fetching about $975,000. You might even find an occasional single-family home in styles such as American Foursquare and 1930s colonials that are going for $995,000 on Billings Avenue.
Students zoned for Medford Public Schools
Students in the neighborhood are part of Medford Public Schools. Children can attend Missituk Elementary, which has a C-plus rating on Niche and was recently renamed in honor of indigenous peoples as well as the Missituk watershed. Students begin studying music as kindergarteners by singing and performing basic choreography. As fifth graders, students make their own instruments and study music from a variety of decades and genres.
Also in the neighborhood, you’ll find Eliot-Pearson Children’s School, part of Tufts University’s Department of Child Study and Human Development. The school consists of four classrooms, three of which are preschool programs and the fourth is a combined kindergarten and first grade classroom. In addition to the school serving as a training site for undergraduate and graduate students, EPCS students benefit from the school’s unique programs which include viewing nature as both teacher and playmate. Many of the neighborhood's teens head north of the Mystic River to attend Medford High School, which has a B rating on Niche.
Getting outside at Barry Park and Columbus Memorial Park
South Medford is home to Barry Park, which includes tennis courts, athletic fields and a tot lot. At Columbus Memorial Park, you can take your dog for a stroll or simply relax for a bit in some open green space.
Local restaurants and markets in South Medford
When it’s time to dine, Santana says, “Tamper Café is a cool spot to hang out.” Located on Boston Avenue, the café serves breakfast quesadillas, quinoa bowls and plenty of coffee. Another popular spot, Oasis Brazilian Steakhouse, serves salads, fajitas and a variety of steak dishes. “It’s a great restaurant. The food is really good here,” Santana says. Residents of South Medford can pick up a few essentials at the small but well-stocked Alexander’s on Main Street. For larger shopping trips, Whole Foods is located just outside the neighborhood.
Easy access to Interstate 93 and Green Line
It's hard to beat the area’s access to Interstate 93 and the Green Line. “Because of the train station, the area is getting more and more popular,” Santana says.
