Malden

Once considered the richest city in the state of Massachusetts and a thriving industrial metropolis, Malden, through the years, settled into a community for those seeking an abundance of single-family homes with easy access to Boston’s thriving employment market. To say Malden is booming and in transition would be an understatement. It’s a city colliding with time—old landmarks of the past are now surrounded by new construction sites with the building of modern high-rise, residential condominiums.

Five miles north of Boston and with easy access to all major interstates and the MBTA Orange Line, Malden is offering residents the best of both worlds—a traditional small-town feel with a city hustle and bustle. Its downtown renaissance features some trendy restaurants such as Hugh O’Neil’s, Idle Hands Brewery, and Mystic Station, but Jay’s Pizza and Ice Cream remains a local classic.

Malden is steeped in American tradition and has proudly been called home to many famous artists, writers, revolutionists, industrialists, and yes, even Massachusetts's own US Senator, Ed Markey. The majestic and grand Victorian homes in Malden’s West End are reminders of its historical past and continue to flourish in this stately neighborhood. Economically innovative in culture and ethnicity, Malden offers a diverse community that prides itself on its rich history.

Sited in a National Survey by Business Week Magazine as “the best place to raise kids,” Malden offers over 30 recreational parks, nearby zoos and beaches, and access to all of Boston’s finest museums and cultural events making this neighborhood an ideal choice for anyone seeking a balance between rural and urban living.
