East Medford is an urban residential mecca
Between the cities of Malden and Medford is a sprawling residential area that is generally referred to as East Medford; however, because of its size, locals often say they live in more specific parts of the neighborhood when referencing location: “Haines Square, Riverside, Morrison Park and Logan Park are some of the monikers that people are more inclined to use here,” says Jennifer Keenan, a local Realtor with 4Squares Residential Group at Keller Williams Realty. “Haines Square is where the Fellsway and Salem Street connect, and Riverside Avenue is a main road that marks a distinctly different area by Mystic River.” Morrison Park and Logan Park are two popular outdoor spaces situated between the Haines Square and Riverside areas. The southern part of the neighborhood is bordered by the Mystic River, an estuary connected to the Boston Harbor that played a significant role in the city’s establishment centuries ago. “Medford was historically known for its shipbuilding, specializing specifically in clipper boats,” Keenan says. She adds that although Medford is no longer a major ship manufacturer, the city’s significant industrial role is well-preserved in local historic districts.
Mix of single- and multifamily homes alongside condominiums
“You’ll see a mix of single-family and multifamily homes, as well as townhouses and condos,” Keenan says. “You might also have a condo that looks like it’s in a house because the property was converted from an original two-family home into condos split by floor levels.” East Medford is characterized by a variety of residential architecture, Keenan says, including Victorian-style homes, Queen Annes, Cape Cod dwellings and a handful of Colonials with signature central entrances. She adds that a majority of properties in the area are early to mid-20th century builds, if not older. Single- and multifamily homes typically cost between $650,000 and $1.2 million, while condo units start around $400,000. Most roads in East Medford are lined with well-maintained sidewalks that residents often use for outdoor recreation purposes: “You’ll see a lot of people walking around or walking their dogs and enjoying their immediate streets,” Keenan says. “This is a generally flat area, which is nice because things can get hilly here.”
Kayak, paddleboard or canoe on the Mystic River
Morrison Park is a popular outdoor spot for youth sports, particularly because of the park’s baseball field, tennis complex and basketball court. “You always see kids out there kicking around a soccer ball or playing lacrosse,” Keenan says. Little League, Youth Soccer and Pop Warner Youth Football are just a few of the organizations that use the park’s athletic facilities for games and non-sports events such as fundraisers. Nearby Logan Park and Magoun Park both have children’s playground equipment, paved walking paths and picnic benches. “Mystic River is used for boating by personal crafts, but not much for swimming,” Keenan says. “Every spring and summer, people rent kayaks, canoes and paddleboats to go cruising around the river; every once in a while, you’ll see a jet ski or small fishing boat.” Along the Mystic River is Riverbend Park, an 11-acre area with a dog park, community garden and ballfield complex where Keenan says people often walk and bike along paved riverfront pathways. Less than 2 miles north of East Medford is the Middlesex Fells Reservation, the second-largest state park in Greater Boston, covering more than 2,500 acres.
Salem Street is lined with local retail and restaurants
Keenan says that many of East Medford’s retail shops and restaurants are situated along Salem Street in the Haines Square area. “Dempsey’s is a classic American diner where they do a really good breakfast, and FiorItaly and Nappi’s are both popular Italian restaurants,” she says. “Salem Street also has a Target that we call ‘Baby Target’ because it’s relatively small, and there’s also a gym and a Walgreens in that area.” At the southern end of the neighborhood is the Meadow Glen shopping mall, which features Wegman’s supermarket and several department stores, including Kohl’s, Marshalls and Petco. Across the street from the shopping center is The Ford Tavern, a bar and restaurant with an outdoor patio that Keenan says opened a couple of years ago and has since become a popular local spot.
Medford Vocational-Technical High School offers 15 program options
Students are served by the Medford Public Schools district, which receives an overall B-minus rating from Niche. Depending on their specific street, young learners can attend either Roberts Elementary or McGlynn Elementary for primary school, both of which are rated B-minus. Students might then head to McGlynn Middle School, rated C-plus, and later attend the B-rated Medford High School, which encompasses the Medford Vocational-Technical High School. Students can apply to any of the 15 career and technology education programs offered by the Vocational-Technical School. Medford High also offers Advanced Placement and Honor courses; according to the district, more than half of its high school students currently participate in Advanced Placement exams.
Medford Farmer’s Market at Condon Shell
Although East Medford sees numerous community gatherings, such as block parties, fundraisers and yard sales, Keenan says that most of the larger events take place in the downtown area at places like Condon Shell, an event venue within the Mystic River Reservation area. “We have a farmer’s market in the summer at Condon Shell, and there’s usually live music happening during the market. Lots of local vendors get involved; Medford Brewing always does a beer tent,” Keenan says. “In June, we do Circle the Square, a festival where you can walk around and get to know local businesses and city departments.”
Catch the MBTA Orange Line to Downtown Boston
Bordering the neighborhood to the west is the Interstate 93 highway corridor, which runs through the Medford downtown area and travels south into Boston proper. I-93 North intersects with Interstate 95, a major East Coast thoroughfare. “Depending on where you are, you can walk to the T in Medford – ‘T’ is what we call the MBTA – or you can walk to Malden Center,” Keenan says. “The MBTA Orange Line is the closest option: it travels to Boston’s North Station and then continues through on through the city.” Keenan also adds that several bus routes also run through the Medford area. East Medford scores a 3 out of 10 on the CAP Index for overall crime, which is lower than the national average of 4.
