Centers And Squares
Welcome to Centers and Squares
As a Cambridge real estate agent, the city squares of Cambridge, Somerville and Medford and the town centers of Arlington, Watertown and Belmont, Massachusetts are my home turf. And as a lifelong New Englander who’s lived within twenty miles of Boston most of my life, I can introduce you to other nearby towns as we search for your new home. If you’re planning to sell your home in Cambridge, MA or nearby you’ll find plenty of info about the home selling process here too. Questions? Send me an email or call me at 617-504-1737.
Arlington Home Sales by School District
Kelwyn Manor is in the Hardy School District
Arlington MA has seven elementary schools and the location of the house that you buy will determine where your kids go to school. Arlington has become a very popular town for real estate buyers and demand for single family houses continues unabated with many houses receiving multiple offers and selling for over the asking price.
In the last twelve months 206 single family homes sold in Arlington Massachusetts. Houses sold for an average of 98% of asking price and sales prices ranged from $210,000 to $1,350,000. In Arlington the average sales price for a single family home sold in the last twelve months was $511,371 and the median sales price was $458,500.
I decided to look at the sales breakdown by school district. This isn’t meant to suggest that school district is the only factor impacting sales price in a neighborhood. Some school districts include large numbers of more modest homes while another school district might have a concentration of large, expensive homes. But it’s interesting to look at the breakdown and if you’re limiting your search to several school districts or to one particular district, it’s helpful to have some idea of average home prices in the school district.
The Bishop School district includes much of the Morningside neighborhood, houses in Arlington Center, Jason Heights and the Pleasant Street Historic District. In the last twelve months:
