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.
