Located just 17 miles south of Boston, South Weymouth is a community that celebrates its historic past and convenient proximity to a metropolitan area—while still making plans for further development and maintaining its own identity. As part of Weymouth, the second-oldest settlement in Massachusetts, South Weymouth offers its residents a short commute to Boston, access to the beach, and affordability when compared to other South Shore communities. “It’s a really exciting atmosphere,” says Rose Mancuso, Realtor with Keller Williams-Boston Northwest and longtime resident of the area. “You have access to so much, and new developments make are coming soon.” As a thriving suburban community, South Weymouth is an enticing option for those looking to be close to what Boston has to offer—but also have enough room to stretch out and relax.
Classic New England style
Homes in the South Weymouth neighborhood reflect the classical styles of New England and demonstrate the old-school charm that makes walking down the street an experience akin to taking a stroll through the past. Walking down Trafalgar Court, for example, showcases styles such as Cape Cods, bungalows, and bi-level properties lining each side of the street. Down Central Street, stunning Colonial and Victorian classics reside on large lots, and Heather Lane features several bi-levels and raised ranches. Condominiums are prevalent as well, and new construction is also present. Prices depend on a home’s style and age, but generally range from $285,000 to $880,000—with condos being on the lower end, and established Colonials/raised ranches on the higher end. “New construction can go for more,” says Mancuso. “Some of the new lots on Massapoag Street go for over $1 million.”
