Arlington, founded over 350 years ago, remains proud of its history, even as it has grown into a thoroughly modern community. The birthplace of Uncle Sam, the location of the first public children's library, and the site of most of the fighting when the British marched through it returning from the Old North Bridge at the start of the Revolutionary War, Arlington has preserved many of its historical buildings and even recreated its town common. Once a thriving agriculture and mill town, Arlington's excellent access to metropolitan Boston has made it a very desirable place to live.

The Town of Belmont is a suburban community located in heart of the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area. Known to longtime residents as “The Town of Homes”, Belmont is a primarily residential community located in close proximity to the region’s economic centers. A part of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Belmont is situated on Cambridge’s western border and is just 8 miles from Downtown Boston. Belmont is also bordered by Watertown, Waltham, Lexington, and Arlington.
You never forget your first visit to Cambridge. The essence of the city is no better summed up than in the words of the beloved, late Cantabrigian Julia Child: "Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."
This is a place where no one blinks if you're having the time of your life while changing the world. Where else can you rub tweedy elbows with status-quo-challenging scholars, drop into a hypnotic African drumming dance class, or scoot into a bar for the best bacon-topped burger of your life? (Seriously, you'll dine well here in the land of cult-worthy restaurants.) No matter which neighborhood you find yourself in, Cambridge's scene teems with eclectic energy. When you have nearly four centuries' worth of compounded history and the gorgeous Charles River to wake up to, everyday, each moment in the city is worthy of joy—curious, infectious, slightly mischievous joy.
Lexington was first settled in 1642 as a farming community that was part of Cambridge. It became the parish of Cambridge Farms in 1691, and was incorporated as a separate town in 1713. The town experienced rapid housing development after World War II with the growth of the Boston urban area and the decline of agriculture.
While the town is primarily residential, a number of industries and commercial establishments employ more than 16,000 people in Lexington. Services and manufacturing are the two largest employment sectors. The major shopping area is the central business district. Lexington Center is a well-maintained area with retail stores, professional offices, banks, and restaurants.
Lexington has always been blessed with an active citizenry, and participation of new as well as long-term residents is always encouraged. Town government provides a variety of opportunities for community involvement.
Whether you are brand new to our amazing city, your family has been here for generations, or you are starting a new business here in Medford, we have designed this page to help you find what you need. Medford is a diverse, historic, and thriving community of just under 60,000 residents from all over the globe. Medford is home to more than 300 acres of city maintained open spaces of all sizes and types, vibrant small business districts, a strong and supportive network of non-profit and community-focused organizations, and so much more.
This small town just north of Boston packs a big punch of quintessential New England charm. Winchester's proximity to Boston certainly makes it a convenient place to visit with the quaint downtown, various cultural offerings, and many outdoor spaces ensures there's plenty to do. The town's commitment to maintaining its historic buildings help keep the old-world charm that traces back to the Winchester's early industrial roots. From shopping the small boutiques, to top notch restaurants, to enjoying a hike in The Middlesex Fells Reservation, Winchester is a must-visit destination.

The process of buying a home can be overwhelming at times, but you don’t need to go through it alone. You may be wondering if now is a good time to buy a home…or if interest rates are projected to rise or fall. The free eGuide below will answer many of your questions and likely bring up a few things you didn’t even know you should consider when buying a home
"We have been fortunate to work with Carol during the purchase of a condo and then a single family house in Arlington. Carol is a true pleasure to work with - friendly, thoughtful, generous with her time, and very knowledgeable about the market. We refer all of our friends to her without hesitation! "
AA, Buyer 4/22
"Carol had taken us to different condos to get our take on what we actually wanted and when this place (our new home) came to her attention she called us immediately. We were able to see it before the Open House and loved it for it had all the qualifications we wanted. We put an offer in before the Open House and was accepted. It is just perfect for our needs and we feel so comfortable being here. Carol did an amazing job. "
RG, Buyer 12/21
"I bought the first house I made an offer on, and that wouldn't have happened without Carol. The owners were leaning towards another offer and Carol was able to negotiate a win for me, which was hugely impressive given the crazy 2021 market. We are very grateful to her! "
MS, Buyer 10/21
" Carol was amazing. She really went above and beyond to find the perfect first home for us. She brought so much knowledge about the area, the market and just general advice about homebuying. She went to bat for us when it was time for us to submit an offer and she continued to send us recommendations for resources to use around town. I'm so happy she was recommended and I can't wait to recommend her to our friends and family!"
AI, Buyer 2/21
"I knew Carol a little bit prior to engaging her for the house search. That proved to be the best decision. Carol was thorough, patient, always available, pleasant and overall wonderful to work with. Very professional but also personable and compassionate. I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat."
VZ., Buyer 6/20
"Margaret and Carol made a wonderful team. They were very communicative and able to walk us though the process as first time home buyers. It was clear that they also cared about helping us find something that met all of our needs. Their knowledge of the area and connections with the community were very helpful at every stage, and we appreciated their transparency as agents. For our inspections and closing they were detail oriented and advocated for us throughout the process."
BM, Buyer 5/20
"Carol was just awesome! Her knowledge was very helpful. If there was something she didn't know she would find out as soon as she could. That did not happen often. The communication with us was superb. She would let us know when deadlines were coming up. She was readily available to us during this whole process. The veterinary business is very busy and with 5 doctors and a growing staff she was a great help to the doctors. Carol made the whole process less stressful. In the future we will be looking for other sites to add to our business and Carol will be the first person we call. "

" Carol and David were a perfect team - each playing to their strengths and relying on each other for advice/direction when needed. They are consummate professionals with a warm, personal touch that is genuine. I will highly recommend them to friends/family in the future."
SB, Seller 10/23
"Carol Greeley is not only an excellent profesional, but a trustworthy human being "
FP, Seller 7/23
"Carol Greeley and I were on the same page from the moment we connected. All her advice and suggestions were common sense and totally in line with what I wanted. I was the personal representative for my mother's estate and my four siblings. I can't imagine how the entire process could have gone better. Carol was always available and responsive. She was a pleasure to work with. Her follow up with me after the closing was so kind and thoughtful. Five stars would not be enough! I am late in responding to this because it ended up in spam. "
AB, Seller 6/23
"Carol was amazing. I was out of state and she handled everything and always kept in close contact with me. I would definitely recommend Carol"
VR, Seller 5/22
"Carol has always done a great job with several of the transactions we have done in the past together. She is extremely knowledgeable about the current markets and always has obtained the best deal for us. She is a true gem in the real estate market in our area. "
DC, Seller, 12/21
"Carol was very helpful especially when she and her son cleaned up our property after a severe thunderstorm caused a large tree limb to fall on the front fence, street, and sidewalk. She also arranged and helped remove last minute buyer unwanted items from the property. From the beginning contact Carole was very thorough; she kept us informed about everything from the initial discussion of possible selling price to scheduling the open house and potential buyer viewings to evaluating the buyers purchase offers to the final steps involved with the closing process. Carol went above and beyond what we expected an agent to do and would not hesitate to highly recommend her services"
CB, Seller 9/21.
" Carol did a fantastic job in working with me and getting the place listed/sold in a timely manner. Highly recommend her to anyone! "
RM, Seller 8/21
" I have no words to express how satisfied we were with the service Carol provided. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable but at the same time personable and very understanding of the stress involved when selling a house. Every advice she provided made sense and helped to sell our house after only 4 days on the market!! During that stressful time she was always available to calm us down and after the P&S was signed and before the final closing, she was assisting with the items we needed to do/complete. And she showed up at the closing (maintaining social distancing and other safety precautions) with a wonderful memento - album of photos of the house + us as a family in the house. This was an incredible personal touch as we were in that house for 20 years, and while it made sense for us to sell, it was an emotional time as well. We would and will recommend Carol to anyone who is either buying or selling a house (we bought a house with carol's assistance earlier this year). We are very grateful for her help, guidance and some hand holding during the process. Thank you!!"
VN, Seller 9/20
"Carol was fabulous. This survey does not begin to give her enough credit for the amazing job she did. I LOVED working with her and I do not believe any real estate agent on earth could have provided better service. Going above and beyond is the norm for Carol. For example, my sister died while Carol and I were working together to sell my condo. She sent me the most beautiful vase of flowers I have ever seen and a lovely note. She has boundless energy and she used a great deal of it to market my property, follow up on every possible detail and make sure I was well informed every step of the way. She also worked endlessly to help me manage my concerns and anxiety about every possible problem I could dream up. Carol would have my highest possible recommendation if I knew someone wanting to sell their property. "
ML, Seller 8/20
"We were selling a condo for my sister who had recently moved to an Assisted Living facility in southern Massachusetts. I live in Illinois so communications and coordination were essential to success. Carol went out of her way to make the process successful and for that we are thankful. Carol is highly knowledgeable of the process of selling a home in her market, and is someone you can trust. Further her ethics are beyond reproach. Arlington is a unique market (far different from my experience in Illinois) so we had to trust Carol and her recommendations and we were rewarded for that with a excellent sale price and a quick sale. We would recommend Carol without reservation. "
