What $1.1 Million Gets You Across Massachusetts
Here’s how a spacious Milton condo, a farm in Mendon, and an elaborate Colonial in Wilbraham compare.

Yes, city dwellers and eastern Massachusetts loyalists, there is a land beyond Greater Boston, and turns out it has a lot to offer, especially by way of space. Here’s what the same amount of money will get you in eastern, central, and western Massachusetts.

This Mendon home is a mere 40 miles southwest of Boston but feels like a different world. Just an hour outside the city lies this vintage farm, replete with two barns and an indoor riding arena. The main house, a Craftsman-style beauty with a wraparound veranda, has an antique wood stove and lots of natural wood details, which adds to the rustic feel.

In this suburb of Springfield, $1.1 million will get you this contemporary Colonial. Built in 2010, this fairly new home sports modern features combined with fine attention to design detail. The kitchen boasts both elaborate crown molding and two separate fridges for beverages and wine, while stunning French doors conceal a first-floor home office.
