The Flats Homes for Rent

West of Winchester’s town center, the rolling hills of Massachusetts level out and fold into a residential neighborhood called The Flats. The hamlet offers a slice of luxurious suburban living less than 10 miles north of Boston. Its streets are lined with grand homes, many set on modest lots with neatly landscaped lawns. Along with upscale living, The Flats also offers proximity to Winchester’s vibrant downtown district and access to top-performing schools, making the neighborhood a sought-after corner of suburban Boston. Tucked underneath a lush canopy of trees, the traditional homes of The Flats create an established feel. Colonial-revival homes are most common, with crisp white or brick facades and classic black shutters. English Tudors, Dutch colonials and a few Victorian-style homes are sprinkled in to the mix. While the median price for real estate hovers around $1.7 million, prices may range from $740,000 up to $4.8 million. Winchester Public Schools serves students living in The Flats and is often lauded for its top ratings. The district, ranked the seventh-best in Massachusetts, earns an A-plus rating from Niche.
