Hillburn Condominiums

...—and the real appeal here is that you get a proper clubhouse, a pool with a sprawling patio, and a grilling area without having to pretend you're managing a small estate. The condos themselves run from about 1,100 to over 1,500 square feet, priced between $56K and $211K, which means there's something for people who aren't trying to max out their mortgage. The HOA handles the tedious stuff—yard work, snow removal, trash—so you're buying time as much as square footage. What makes this stick, though, is location: you're a third of a mile from Blandford Nature Center, a 264-acre preserve with trails that actually feel like an escape, not a walk through a mowed lot.
