West End is a walkable and visually stimulating neighborhood
On her "Tigerlily" album, 90s singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant, wrote, “Go west, paradise is there.” While she may not have been singing about the West End neighborhood in the City of Malden, there are plenty of folks who will tell you that this area of the city is a true architectural paradise. Realtor Kristin Gennetti with Century 21 North East notes that the West End is a more expensive part of the city, but for a reason. “These period homes are just gorgeous,” Gennetti says. “People love the renovated, old-style homes.” Plus, the gently curving streets with names like Pine Street and Maple Street eventually coalesce around Fellsmere Park. This is a leafy, historic community for those who put aesthetics at the top of their list.
Modest single-family homes and massive Victorians in West End
On Clifton Street, a two-lane road with sidewalks and meticulous landscaping, you’ll see stunning Victorians and late 1800s Colonials that go for about $995,000. There are more Victorian homes on Prospect Street priced around $685,000 and some 1930s Colonials going for about $675,000. Classic 1980s colonials on Pamela Circle are priced around $780,000, and beautifully restored 1900s Cape Cods on Glenwood Street fetch a little over $600,000. Blues, tans, creams and stark whites present a consistent aesthetic to the neighborhood, while numerous evergreens and deciduous trees enhance the suburban atmosphere. Homes can be clustered close together in some parts, encouraging a cozy, pedestrian vibe. Indeed, with curving streets reducing through traffic, most people will find the neighborhood friendly to walkers, and major paths like Fellsway East are lined with sidewalks in both directions.

Eclectic extracurriculars at Malden High
West End students can attend Malden Public Schools. At Beebe School, nearly 1,000 students attend kindergarten through Grade 8. There's a 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and Niche gives the school a B-minus overall. Malden High maintains the same student-teacher ratio, even though it has double the student population. Niche gives it a B-plus overall. Students have access to eclectic extracurriculars like step team, animation cartoon club and ping pong club. Rockland Montessori School is another neighborhood option for children ages three through kindergarten. Rockland follows the same school calendar as Malden Public Schools.
Immerse in nature at Fellsmere Park
The neighborhood is home to a beautiful outdoor space called Fellsmere Park, which was designed by the famous landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted. The park is built around a pond and is a popular place for walking, jogging and picnics. “You’ll also see folks sledding here in the winter,” Gennetti says. At Amerige Field, athletic amenities abound; there's a baseball diamond, playground, soccer fields and tennis courts. For a more immersive experience, the neighborhood's north side borders Middlesex Fells Reservation, which features extensive walking trails.

Malden Center's hip dining options and ambiance
When folks head out for an evening dinner, Gennetti says they often walk to the downtown area, also known as Malden Center. This hip area is being developed with luxury residential properties, even while historic facades remain. It has the effect of drawing in creative eateries. Friends tend to gather at The Pearl Street Station Restaurant, a popular spot for lunch, dinner and karaoke. The restaurant, which locals boast its lively atmosphere, serves a variety of barbecue dishes in a renovated railroad station. Another local favorite, District Kitchen, is a self-described modern and authentic Chinese restaurant that serves hand-crafted dumplings.

Fellsway East is the key road for transportation and shopping
Interstate 93 is a mile to the west, and that's a key way for residents to reach Boston, only 8 miles south. I-93 also passes through the center of Middlesex Fells Reservation, making it convenient to hop onto any of the various trailheads. But the neighborhood's core thoroughfare is Fellsway East, which can be taken south 2.5 miles, across the Mystic River to Assembly Square, which contains a Trader Joe's. Public transportation is an option, as buses run south along Fellsway.
You can easily access the Malden Center Orange Line T station from the West End.
