Just 7 miles from the busy hub city of Boston, the town of Melrose, Massachusetts is an excellent compromise between the crowded metropolitan zone around Boston and more distant exburbs fueling the exodus from the city. The town is mainly residential, with luxuriously beautiful Victorian homes dating back to the early 19th century. The population of 28,000 is known for its self-sufficiency and community support.

You can expect lush tree-lined neighborhoods with only the best in home landscaping and maintenance. Melrose residents take pride in the beautiful town, which is a sea of tranquility amongst the ocean that is the Greater Boston Area.

Residents boast of their top-rated schools, and strong cultural traditions. They have the Melrose Symphony Orchestra which is over 80-years old. A historic Victorian downtown district is maintained with care. Ample parks and greenspace area available throughout this 'garden city' including a large Ell Pond in the center of the downtown area.

Melrose is effectively isolated from the congestion and pollution around Boston due to a green belt of parks and preservation areas on all sides. Recreational facilities include golf courses, parks, playing fields, and a top-notch baseball diamond.
