Driving through Birch Hill, you notice the streets settle into a rhythm—tree-lined and unhurried, 29 acres of 1950s-and-60s suburban calm with enough mature growth to feel established without feeling stuck. Lots average a quarter-acre, homes cluster in the $330K range, and you're never more than a couple minutes on foot from coffee, a restaurant, or transit; the nearest park is a four-minute walk. It's the kind of place where you can run errands without getting in the car every time, though you'll want one for the 7-minute shot downtown.
