Why Live in Bear Hill
Bear Hill, 13 miles from Boston, is a suburban area near shopping and dining with a golf club of the same name. Residents enjoy the tree-lined streets and parks, shopping and dining, and the variety in housing prices. “It’s a desirable area for people who want to put down their roots, a great family-oriented place surrounded by a lot of greenery,” says Praveen Khare, a broker with Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest. Khare has worked in the industry for almost a decade. “The price range compared to Boston is significantly cheaper, but it’s still not one of those towns with a competitive housing market.” Bear Hill offers a range of prices and housing types near Main Street. Most homes have a front and a backyard or are close to public parks. Main Street also borders the area, and some homes are within walking distance from shops and restaurants. Most homes surround the Bear Hill Golf Club, lined with wide, winding roads and mature trees. Main Street borders the west side of the neighborhood. This high-traffic area may become noisy during rush hour, though most homes are farther from Main Street. Homes have front and backyards enclosed by fences; some are lined with sidewalks.
