6 homes for under $500,000 along the Greenbush commuter rail line
From a three-bedroom ranch in Scituate to a one-bedroom condo with a marble bath in Dorchester.
If living on the South Shore is your goal, battling traffic on Route 3 doesn’t have to be your penalty. There’s always the Greenbush commuter rail line.
A train leaving Greenbush Station in Scituate at 7:50 a.m. on a weekday will get you into South Station in 59 minutes, according to the timetable. If you hop in the car and leave town at the same time on a Monday, Google says, it could take anywhere from 40 to 55 minutes. But you are at the mercy of the traffic that day, and you can’t kick back with a book.
We found six properties along this train route for under half a million dollars, and to aid your search, we’ve included the median home price in the community, based on the Zillow Home Value Index.
