Reasons to Buy in Lexington MA

 

Lexington DepotLexington Massachusetts is one of my favorite towns. As one of the largest in area Lexington borders Woburn, Burlington, Winchester, Arlington, Waltham, Lincoln and Bedford. At the time this article was written January 20, 2011. Lexington has had over 135 real estate transactions in the past 6 months. This represents apx. 33% more sales than Burlington and Woburn.

Lexington is renowned for it's public school system which includes 6 elementary, 2 middle and  high school. It's been ranked 304th in the nation by Newsweek.

This small town has strong roots in American History with one of the most predominant landmarks located in the town center known for the Battle Green, where the battle was fought and the statue of the Minute Man sits now.

Lexington is also home of the 900 acre Minute Man Park and the National Heritage Museum, which exhibit  American History and Popular Culture.                                                                         Lexington national Heritage Museum

Locals enjoy shopping at Wilson Farms opened in 1884 and is still a thriving local farm stand patronized by many residents from all over Massachusetts for its fresh fruits, vegetable's, cheeses and breads.Wilson Farms Green House

In addition to these fun facts Lexington's home values are remained strong through these turbuliant times.

Thanks for the tips. I used to live in upstate NY and travelled through there alot on my way to Boston. It's a great area. I understand you're in for some more snow. Sorry.

Lisa nice market report. I rented in the area, (Belmont),  for a short time and always thought of Lexington as high priced. The market report shows there are some more affordable prices on the low side that I think are over looked.

Eric, you are correct. With todays reasonable mortgage rates and property values at record lows it's the perfect time to buy in Lexington.
