Allen Street sits in East Braintree, close to Weymouth Landing, and its houses are noticeably older than the streets around it. The typical home here dates to around 1900, against about 1930 for the surrounding half mile. Across Braintree as a whole, the typical house is closer to 1950. Most are single-families, mixed in with two-families and a few larger buildings.
The Monatiquot River runs just behind the street, about 200 feet from the nearest homes, and listings for a couple of houses say they overlook it. The Monatiquot Riverwalk path is roughly 300 feet from the closest houses. Two homes on the street fall in a mapped flood zone.
The Weymouth Landing/East Braintree stop on the Greenbush commuter rail line is about an eight-minute walk from the street, and Davis Park is a three- or four-minute walk. Homes run around 1,500 square feet, smaller than the town's typical 1,900, on lots of about a fifth of an acre. East Middle School and Donald Ross School are each about three-quarters of a mile away.
Drawn from the Braintree assessor's records, MassGIS maps (MBTA stations, parks and conservation land, FEMA flood zones) and 73 MLS listings on Allen St since 1995. Distances are straight-line.
