Why Live in Needham

Needham is a town whose warmth feels like a blast from the past. It’s the type of area that, while not particularly small, feels intimate because of the relationships neighbors build with each other. Homes are a hot commodity in the area, and the caliber of schools here and proximity to transportation hubs sweeten the pot. “A core reason people buy in Needham is the school system,” says Connor Gillen, 30-year Needham local and real estate agent at Keller Williams Boston Southwest. “It’s Needham’s bread and butter. The schools are always in the top 10 in the state.” Collectively, Needham Public Schools boast an A-plus rating on Niche. “They’re strong in music and sports, academics. It’s not just one component,” local Realtor Maura Cutting of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate says. Young children can attend Mitchell Elementary School, which has an A on Niche and an almost 60-year partnership with The Needham Science Center. Students can then move on to two A-plus rated schools: Pollard Middle School and Needham High School. Needham High holds a legacy; Gillen shares that the institution and neighboring Wellesley High School have the nation’s oldest public high
