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. |

Under the 2025 state ADU law, one accessory dwelling up to 900 sq ft (or half the house, if smaller) is generally allowed here without a special permit. Site rules like setbacks and parking still apply. |
| Property tax, FY2025 | About $6,386 a year (assessed $639,900 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill. |
| Elevation | About 59 ft above sea level, higher than 13% of Braintree homes. |
| Nearest rail line | About 680 ft from the Greenbush commuter rail line. |
