Maplewood
Maplewood
What it’s like to live in Maplewood
Historic character pervades Maplewood, where Victorian and Craftsman homes create architectural diversity in this streetcar suburb just north of Boston. Residents enjoy walking access to the Northern Strand Community Trail for car-free commuting and the neighborhood's proximity to both Malden Center retail and natural areas like the Middlesex Fells Reservation. Though winter parking challenges patience during snow emergencies, most homes include driveways uncommon in areas closer to Boston. The neighborhood's continuing renaissance has created an authentic community atmosphere where locally-owned businesses reflect resident needs rather than tourist expectations.

Malden Center
What it’s like to live in Malden Center
Transit convenience defines Malden Center, where affordable alternatives to Boston proper surround the Orange Line station creating car-optional living. The neighborhood offers significantly better value than downtown Boston while maintaining direct subway access to both employment and entertainment districts. Though lacking Boston's historic character, the practical advantages of newer construction including more reliable systems and better soundproofing create quality-of-life improvements worth considering beyond purely aesthetic considerations.
