Braintree, MA Apartments for Rent

Few Boston suburbs can claim to be the birthplace of two U.S. presidents, but Braintree -- birthplace of both John Adams and John Quincy Adams -- pulls it off while still functioning as a thoroughly practical commuter town about 12 miles south of downtown. Daily life moves at an easy pace, with tree-lined neighborhoods, community events that run through every season, and shopping and dining close at hand. Popular areas include the commercial corridors along Route 3, the residential Braintree Highlands, and East Braintree, where prewar cottage architecture gives the streets a quieter, older-Boston feel. Driving is the dominant way to get around, though the MBTA Red Line and Kingston Line commuter rail give car-free commuters a real foothold.

Renters will find a solid range of housing options, from older colonial-style single-family rentals to newer apartment communities that have grown up near transit centers, like Braintree Station. East Braintree also offers prewar bungalows and Cape-style cottages, while the Highlands leans toward larger Colonial and Dutch Revival homes.

General Sylvanus Thayer, known as the Father of West Point, was born here too -- his legacy lives on in the locally named Thayer Academy. The town operates under a mayor-council form of government. Community life stays active through a full calendar of recurring events, from the Sunset Concert Series to farmers markets outside Town Hall.
