About Elmlawn Rd
This older home from 1923 sits comfortably within the pattern of Elmlawn Road. Its 1,428 square feet and 0.12-acre lot are close to the street's medians of 1,503 square feet and 0.13 acres, and its age matches most of the houses around it. Elmlawn is a side street in East Braintree, about half a mile long, and is reached from Elm Street and Hayward Street. All 86 homes are single-family, mostly older homes, Colonials and Bungalows, and 34 of them were built in the 1920s. Harris Playground sits right along the street. Homes here come up only about two or three times a year. The three that sold in the last two years drew offers in a median of about five days.

Around Elmlawn Rd
Scored against every street in Braintree.
Condos vs single-family
Scores run 1–100; 50 is typical. 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.
