“The residential market in Malden remains robust and potential buyers should be prepared for a competitive market where bidding wars have become the norm! Malden is attracting a variety of buyers from young professionals to empty nesters. Malden remains more affordable than other communities sitting on the outskirts of Boston, like Cambridge and Somerville, and it sits only 7 miles away from the city. Convenience has become a major factor in where buyers decide to buy.
Malden is a very diverse community and is a city of neighborhoods , each one offering its own charm and appeal. From the beautiful period homes and convenient access to the MBTA in the West End to the historic Bell Rock Park area in close proximity to the new Encore Boston Harbor Casino, Malden offers a wide range of options for home buyers.”
