Needham is known as the hometown of Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman and a Thanksgiving Day football rivalry that dates to 1882, but it’s also home to a high school that US News & World Report ranked 11th in the state in 2016.

The median home value in Needham is $915,400, according to Zillow. We found three properties — a Colonial, a contemporary, and a Cape — just above or really above that price point. Check them out:
