FOR THE LOVE OF STONEHAM!

Being a Realtor®, I am asked many questions regarding the Town of Stoneham and its surrounding communities.  People always ask me, why do I enjoy living in Stoneham?  Why would I recommend someone to look at homes in Stoneham?

Being a lifelong resident of Stoneham, these questions are a breeze to answer!  I love the fact that we are minutes away from Boston, we have affordable homes, and we are seconds from the Middlesex Fells Reservation.

Stoneham is a small, quiet town with an abundance amount of charm.  Stoneham is perfectly located right between route 128 and route 93… which is perfect for commuters.  When people are looking to buy a home a HUGE factor is always location… which Stoneham truly offers.  Not only are we close to Boston, but we are also located near amazing restaurants.  I love walking my dogs around the center of town and smelling the delicious food that the restaurants are cooking.  We are also located near great shopping malls!  Who doesn’t love shopping?

My absolute favorite thing about Stoneham is the Middlesex Fells Reservation!  I am a HUGE lover of hiking and am thrilled to be part of a community that offers trails.  The Middlesex Fells Reservation is enormous with endless activities.  The Fells offers many hiking trails that people can run, walk, and even bike on.  I enjoy many of these trails with my two dogs where we explore nature for hours.  If we’re not in the mood to hike we will walk the perimeter of Spot Pond, which is a full 5 miles!

I truly enjoy living in Stoneham!  I drove through the center of town last night and saw the beautiful holiday lights illuminating the trees!  I saw people gathered by the Stoneham Theater and people entering our town restaurants for dinner.  Stoneham is a wonderful place to live and I would recommend this town to anyone!
