Suburban living, friendly neighbors
At the intersection of Winchester, Woburn, and Lexington, Shakerhill is a suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of Boston with a warm community spirit. “It’s the kind of place where you can go for a walk and people will come out of their homes to say hi,” said Eileen Doherty, who has worked in the area for 40 years. “You don’t often find a neighborhood like that. People will get a sense of the community and how friendly it is, and they tell all their friends.”

Varying houses at upscale prices
Home styles vary from one street to the next. Some streets are lined with stately, grandiose Colonial-style homes, while others feature more humble split-level and single-story homes. Few of the residential streets have sidewalks, and the hilly terrain means that stairs and retaining walls are common. Many of the homes were built in the mid-20th century, but new construction of condos make the most use of limited land. 3-bedroom homes built in the 1950s may sell for around $600,000, while larger 4-bedroom homes usually sell for more than $1 million. Condos and townhomes built since 2019 sell for around $950,000.
