Roslindale, affectionately known as Boston’s “garden suburb,” is now home to 33,000-plus people. Fun fact: Roslindale was formerly part of Roxbury, but Boston annexed it in 1873.
True to its garden nickname, Roslindale shares bragging rights for Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum with Jamaica Plain.
Home sales have plummeted in Massachusetts as more sellers hold off on marketing their properties and mortgage rates and prices climb, but what is the market like in Boston proper? In Massachusetts, the median sales prices for single-family homes and condos in September were $550,000 and $495,000, respectively, according to a report The Warren Group released Tuesday. But as you get closer to Boston, prices creep up. On Tuesday, the Greater Boston Association of Realtors reported a mixed bag for buyers in the city in September:
