Homes that are 'young' for the Wakefield area
Montrose has a mix of single-family homes, apartments and condos. Housing here is newer than in other parts of Wakefield and features ranch-style, bi-level and new traditional homes.

Montrose is the area of town that at one time had the land to build." Condo sales prices range from $400,000 to $700,000. Smaller single-family homes typically sell for between $550,000 and $900,000, while larger estates can go for $1 million to $1.6 million.
