Forestdale Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

The Forestdale neighborhood in Malden, Massachusetts, lies near Pine Banks Park, a large nature and recreation area split between Malden and Melrose, a separate city to the north. “Forestdale kind of spans around Pine Banks,” says Kristin Gennetti, a Realtor and team leader with the Kristin Gennetti Group, part of Century 21 North East. Location is a big part of the draw and goes beyond the access to the park. “It’s largely residential, but accessibility is big there,” Gennetti says. “There’s Forestdale School, Forestdale Park. And you can walk to Oak Grove Train Station .” Residents can also enjoy proximity to Malden’s revitalized downtown, and the reputation of being one of the city’s top Halloween destinations each year. Forestdale is largely residential, and much of it is single-family homes, as almost two thirds of the neighborhood residents are homeowners. Bi-levels, Colonial Revivals and Craftsman designs are typical home styles, and some pockets have additional variety, like a handful of Cape Cods on Blantyre Road or the blend of styles on Hill Street. Most homes were built decades ago , and the median build year in this area is 1932. Sidewalks and small, tidy lawns line
