The MBTA Commuter Rail connects residents directly to Boston, making it a natural landing spot for anyone who wants access to the city without living in it full time. Every year, the Melrose Victorian Fair draws thousands of visitors to celebrate the city's beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture, a tradition that speaks to just how proud locals are of their surroundings.
The rental market in Melrose reflects its appeal. Options range from charming multifamily homes and converted Victorian units to newer apartment communities offering updated finishes and modern amenities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
