Conservation land, historic homes and Stone Zoo north of Boston
Stoneham is a small town located just 9 miles north of Boston in Middlesex County, with a population of about 23,000 people. “Stoneham is one of the first affordable towns in both location and proximity to the Greater Boston Area, where buyers can get a little bit of land and yard space,” says Mary Kelly, a Realtor with CENTURY 21 Property Central and resident of Stoneham. “We’re at the intersection of I-93 and I-95, which makes everything very accessible.”
Stoneham is also known for its miles of natural and conservation areas. Residents can fish, swim, hike or head to Stone Zoo. Several Stoneham buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Amasa Farrier Boardinghouse on Main Street. Built in 1865, the property once housed workers from Stoneham’s factories. And though the town gets its nickname “Shoe Town” from its booming 1800s shoemaking industry, today’s major employers in Stoneham include the local government, banks, medical centers and the Deshpande Foundation, which supports nonprofit work.

Hiking through Middlesex Fells Reservation and trips to Stone Zoo
Though it may be just a few miles north of downtown Boston, Stoneham residents have access to an abundance of forested trails at the Middlesex Fells Reservation. The Tri-Town Bike Path is a miles-long paved rail trail for bikers and hikers that connects Stoneham, Winchester and Woburn. Nearby bodies of water include Spot Pond, which has its own boathouse, as well as the reservoirs west of Interstate 93. Stoneham is also home to Stone Zoo, which is famous for its year-round activities, snow leopard exhibit and Zoo Lights holiday displays. An array of athletic fields, playgrounds and golf courses can be found in and around Stoneham for family fun and days outside. When winter comes and it's time to head inside, residents can head to nearby attractions like Dave & Busters, Breakout Games escape room, or museums like Parker Tavern and Wakefield History Museum.

Late 1800s homes and million-dollar modern constructions
Many single-family homes in Stoneham were built in the early 1900s, though there are still some late 1800s Victorians and colonial-inspired builds in town. The median value of single-family homes in town is around $795,000, though several homes in neighborhoods like Lindenwood, Bear Hill and Colonial Park stretch as high as $1.8 million. “We’ve got a big mix of housing here. Though we’re primarily a single-family town, we have a few multifamily and mixed-use properties,” Kelly says. “In recent years we’ve seen some large condo projects being approved and built, as well as privately-owned apartment buildings. However, because we're surrounded by conservation land, most buildable land has already been used.” The majority of condos and townhouses in Stoneham range between $400,000 and $700,000, with attached rowhouses and apartment-style condos in brick complexes or Victorian-inspired units.

Stoneham Town Day and other community festivals
“It’s a small town with big-hearted people that has a very good community spirit,” Kelly says. She recommends that new residents try their best to get involved and meet neighbors. Stoneham’s signature annual event is Stoneham Town Day. Held in September since 1984, the event celebrates local businesses and nonprofit entities, where people can shop from vendors, listen to live music and buy from nearby restaurants. Residents can attend free activities at the Town Common with its Pop-Up Stoneham program, with a variety of annual events for all ages. The Stoneham Chamber of Commerce also hosts a summer concert series, a Halloween stroll and a holiday parade in December.

Nearby shopping centers and Main Street pubs and stores
The town’s locally owned restaurants and bars are best found on Main Street. “Stoneham is a young, up-and-coming community full of professionals who want to move out of the city and get more space,” Kelly says. “The bar scene is small and growing, and we have a wide variety of diverse flavors and cuisines.” Some local favorites include Angelo’s, a family-run Italian restaurant and town staple, as well as Fusion, “which has some of the best Sushi I’ve ever had in Massachusetts,” Kelly says. She also recommends The Stones Common House and Kitchen. Shoppers can find most of what they need at Target and surrounding stores at Redstone Shopping Center.
