See the numbers behind these →
Sliders run 1–100 (50 is typical for Braintree). Prices are placed among Braintree MLS PIN closed sales of the same year, so an older sale is judged against the prices of its own time. A past or asking price only: we don't estimate what any home is worth. Scores describe how the market behaves, not the home or its neighbors.
Zoning, taxes & the land
| Zoning | Residence B (B). Confirm with the town before you plan around it. |
| In-law / accessory unit | A single-family home in a district that allows single-family homes by right. Under the 2025 state ADU law, one accessory dwelling up to 900 sq ft (or half the house, if smaller) is generally allowed here without a special permit. Site rules like setbacks and parking still apply. |
| Property tax, FY2025 | About $11,049 a year (assessed $1,107,100 × $9.98 per $1,000). An estimate: exemptions and abatements change the actual bill. |
| Elevation | About 139 ft above sea level, higher than 72% of Braintree homes. |
| Nearest rail line | About 1,100 ft from the Fall River/New Bedford commuter rail line. |
Zoning from MassGIS tax parcels; elevation from state LiDAR at the parcel's center point; distances are straight-line. Tax uses the town's residential rate for that fiscal year.
