A highly residential sector of Chelsea
A pocket of the small but densely populated city of Chelsea, Prattville offers green space, plenty of restaurants and convenient access to Boston. This walkable suburb, just 5 miles north of the harbor, increases in popularity as transit options develop and the housing market becomes more competitive downtown. “A big reason folks choose to buy here is because the price point is lower than what you’ll find in areas closer to Boston,” says local Realtor Doug McCusker with Cutter Lux Living, Compass Real Estate. Prattville residents can reap the benefits of having big-city amenities nearby without having to live in the heart of all the action. While Prattville maintains a relatively urban feel, the high volume of residential streets give the area a quieter, slower-paced atmosphere than surrounding options.
Prattville is bordered by Route 1, making traveling by car north or south a breeze.
Unique, eye-catching homes are fairly common among residents of Prattville.

Two parks in the middle of Prattville
Among the cityscape, Washington Park serves as an attractive urban green space with benches and seating areas under its tall trees. The park anchors the southern part of the neighborhood, with restaurants and other businesses along the perimeter of its square shape. Up a few blocks on Washington Avenue, Voke Park provides athletic amenities and open, dog-friendly fields. Visitors can play tennis, basketball and baseball, while kids explore the well-kept jungle gym. The city recently added a splash-pad feature, great for cooling off in the summer. With Revere right next door and the coast under 3 miles east, beach days are easy and accessible.
Washington Park is the best place to enjoy a walk through Prattville or simply sitting outside.

Homes under $1 million in Prattville
A stroll through Prattville exudes history, with 19th- and 20th- century homes lining its sidewalks. Housing types range from small Capes to large multifamily properties with two or three units. Single-family homes tend to sell between $500,000 and $700,000, while entire multi-families can climb up to $1 million. Inventory is low, and the market, competitive. "Homes usually sell within 25 days on the market,” McCusker says. Most plots feature private driveways or garages, so street-parking typically does not become an issue. With Voke and Washington Parks nearby, most residents have a community outdoor area within walking distance of home.
