Wellesley Hills Homes for Rent

Wellesley Hills is a neighborhood characterized by its early 20th-century architecture, featuring grand Colonial Revivals, Tudor Revivals, Cape Cods, and Garrison-style homes. Newer constructions are also present, often replacing older structures due to limited land availability. The area is known for its larger lot sizes, ranging from a quarter acre to 1 acre. Residents, including many finance, banking, and biotech executives, enjoy a community with abundant walking trails and parks such as Centennial Park and the 2.5-mile Fuller Brook Path. In winter, local hills and ponds become popular spots for ice skating and sledding. The Wellesley Country Club, with its 18-hole golf course, racquetball courts, and outdoor pool, serves as a key recreational and social hub. Commerce is centered along Washington Street, home to independent bakeries, restaurants, and shops, including the repurposed Wellesley Hills rail station now housing Caffè Nero. Whole Foods Marketplace and Linden Square offer additional retail options. Community events like Wellesley’s Wonderful Weekend and various block parties foster a strong sense of community. The neighborhood is well-connected, with the Wellesley Hill train station providing MBTA commuter rail access to Boston, and bus routes via the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority. Boston and Logan International Airport are less than 20 miles away. Students attend highly rated Wellesley Public Schools, including Joseph E. Fiske Elementary, Otho L. Schofield Elementary, Wellesley Middle School, and Wellesley High School. Local higher education institutions include Wellesley College, Babson College, and Mass Bay Community College.
