Transplants to Boston, MA will quickly find that living in the city is very expensive. But just over the city lines is a hidden treasure…Winthrop, MA.
Maureen Reddy, of DaVinci Designer Gallery, has been staging properties in the greater Boston area for 15+ years. “ I have worked in every community on the edge of the city and find that the value Winthrop affords is exceptional by comparison,” says Reddy. Recently, Reddy staged a 4 bedroom home just over the city line, “It is bright and cheery, steps away from protected wetlands, a 2 minute walk to commuter line access, and accommodates 3 vehicle in the driveway. The price tag for this home is, for $357,670. You just can’t find that anywhere around. Newcomers to the Boston area are amazed by this town,” Reddy comments.
The location of Winthrop is extraordinary. It is perched on the edge of Boston and is surrounded by water on three sides. Boston skyline views can be seen to the west and beaches and ocean views to the east.
The town, originally a seaside vacation spot, has an eclectic mix of homes that populate tree lined streets. Stately Victorian architecture, from a bygone era, can still be found throughout. The town boasts yacht clubs, a golf course, public and private beaches, and a ferry to Boston’s newly renovated waterfront. It is a safe community just minutes from an Logan International Airport and world renown universities and hospitals. The pricing of homes, in this hidden seaside community, are a fraction of those found in Boston proper.
