Bear Hill offers a variety of housing prices, shopping, dining and nature
Bear Hill, 13 miles from Boston, is a suburban area near shopping and dining with a golf club of the same name. Residents enjoy the tree-lined streets and parks, shopping and dining, and the variety in housing prices. “It’s a desirable area for people who want to put down their roots, a great family-oriented place surrounded by a lot of greenery,” says Praveen Khare, a broker with Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest.
