Why Live in Linden
In east Malden, Linden offers convenience for students, nature lovers and Boston commuters. The neighborhood is home to a namesake public school and a portion of the Northern Strand Community Trail, leading to the cordgrass-covered Rumney Marsh Reservation. But it's Linden’s multiple bus stops and location just west of U.S. Route 1 that appeal most to homebuyers. “The Linden bus route goes to the Malden train station, and drivers can get to Boston in like 20 minutes if they leave a little before rush hour,” says Kristin Gennetti, a team leader with Century 21 North East and a Malden resident. She adds that these commuter routes don’t make the area traffic-heavy. “It still feels like a very peaceful, family friendly pocket because of the school and that trail.” Houses built between the late 1800s and early 1900s sit on compact lots along Linden’s sidewalk-lined streets. Styles include bungalows, Colonial Revivals and Queen Annes. Mid-20th century split levels and Cape Cod cottages are also common. Above-ground power lines stretch over houses, which typically have three to five bedrooms. Some properties have driveways and alleyway lots, but street parking is also common. A few
