Why Live in Melrose East Side
Bounded by Lynn Fells Parkway, Lebanon Street and several green spaces, Melrose, Massachusetts’s East Side neighborhood offers its residents a convenient location north of Boston with highly rated schools and easy access to green spaces. “East Side Melrose is very desirable,” says Jill Leeman, a real estate agent with Leeman & Gately/Compass who has lived in Melrose her whole life. “You might be walking distance to Bellevue Golf Course, the private course, or walking distance to Mount Hood, a public one.” That walkability is a key feature, as is the proximity to Boston. “You can get to Boston very easily,” Leeman says.
