Billerica does have some nice homes. The main street that cuts through the city is highly congested though.

That's because they got the state to stripe it as one lane. Here in Burlington, it's one lane but said lane is wide enough for two. If you like panel scraping NASCAR style passing, it sort of works.

I can see why NIMBYS don't want condos built. Isn't that used car lot right along the river? Traffic in town is bad already. Can the schools handle more students? Don't they have a water problem too? Brown/rusty water.

Sorry but this is ridiculous. Methuen is 61% white non-Hispanic. Majority white just like Billerica. And no Trump flags in your town?

The Billerica market is already crazy.

A friend of mine wanted to attend an open house, but it had been under contract even before the open house! That was like 2 days after being listed. And the whole transaction took just two weeks (cash buyer definitely).

The sellers could have gotten more if they had the open house.

A house like this one in Quincy would be at 1 million. In Milton, it would be 1.2 million. It's a beautiful home for sure.

Those traditionally white working class towns are still undervalued, but new MA residents will occupy them fast.

There isn't even a garage.

I don't know a whole lot about Billerica to be honest, but it looks like it's 40 min to Boston with B+ schools on niche. One thing that people will move further out for is a nice home with space. The house posted above is a nice house. Not too long ago you could get a house like this in Billerica for 500 something. Now i guess it's $865,000.
