Quick access to the train station and shopping in Wyoming
Wyoming, just outside Boston, provides a slower pace of life close to public transit, shops and recreation. “You can easily get on a train and be in the city in 15 minutes,” says Jill Leeman, a licensed real estate agent with Compass, and a longtime Melrose resident who’s been selling homes in the area for over 20 years. Originally part of Charlestown, the oldest neighborhood in Boston, Melrose became its own town in 1850. As Boston further developed, so did Melrose, which increased its population from 4,500 people in 1880 to over 15,000 by 1910. Today, the city’s nearly 30,000 residents have access to a thriving downtown shopping district and some of the area's largest outdoor attractions.
