About Elmlawn Rd
This Colonial from 1948 is about 19 years newer than the typical home on Elmlawn Road, where the median build year is 1929. It sits on 0.22 acres, roughly two-thirds more land than the street's median lot of 0.13 acres. Elmlawn runs about half a mile through East Braintree, in the Penn's Hill area, and it is reached from Elm Street and Hayward Street. All 86 homes are single-family, most built in the 1920s and 1930s. Older homes from that era, Colonials and Bungalows make up most of the mix. Harris Playground, a small town playground, sits right by the street. Homes here have come up about twice a year over the past decade. The three that sold in the last two years went under agreement in a median of five days.

Around Elmlawn Rd
Scored against every street in Braintree.
Condos vs single-family
Scores run 1–100; 50 is typical. Prices are placed among Braintree MLS PIN closed sales of the same year, so an older sale is judged against the prices of its own time. A past or asking price only: we don't estimate what any home is worth. Scores describe how the market behaves, not the home or its neighbors.
Zoning, taxes & the land
| Zoning | Residence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it. |

Site rules like setbacks and parking still apply. |
| Property tax, FY2025 | About $6,765 a year (assessed $677,900 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill. |
| Elevation | About 147 ft above sea level, higher than 77% of Braintree homes. |
| Nearest rail line | About 2,600 ft from the Greenbush commuter rail line. |
