Neighborhood

Just northeast of the Mystic River lies Malden Center, an idyllic suburban refuge from Boston's urban hub. Bloomberg Businessweek once named Malden the "best place to raise your kids," highlighting the safe streets and renowned schools that characterize the area.

Malden Center boasts a slew of unique charms, from the historic character of its buildings to its peaceful, tree-lined boulevards. Neighborhood residents enjoy a small-town feel along with access to numerous scenic parks.

Connected to Downtown Boston by both commuter and subway routes, Malden Center proves to be a wise choice for many commuters looking for a peaceful environment to settle down in without sacrificing convenience to all that Greater Boston has to offer.

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.

Horrible place to live

This place is a nightmare. Two elevators for 18 floors but only one usually works, it’s dirty, and maintenance is never done in a timely manner. If at all. do not rent. Management doesn’t care about the tenants.

7/3/21
Worst place I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived in public housing

Roaches. they say they supply air conditioning and it never works. Have a pool that is never opened. No security. Police always here. Elevators always not working witness a little girl crying the other day saying her mother was stuck in there. Took 2 days for someone to come fix my sink that was pouring out water from the pipes. People who don’t live here always smoking weed in the garage. You need a door opener to get in but yet have stairway doors on the side of the garage that are not locked to stop people who do not live her getting in. There’s a person who screams all day and night like they are getting murdered. Hallways and elevators alway smell like weed. Arguments in hallways. No one does anything besides say “I’m sorry for the inconvenience we are working on it now.” When in fact they never do anything! Worst place I have ever lived and I advise anyone looking for a place to live to not even bother looking here, you will regret it! I have 10 more months on my lease and I regret my decision to move in here every single day!! I would give negative stars if possible!!

3/11/21
