Malden - The affordable, safe, working class city
- 2/13/2010
Malden is the northern end of the Boston metro area where the last two orange line stops make for an excellent commute. The pricing starts to get to a place where families can afford to live and in many cases even have a single family home with a real honest-to-goodness yard (not possible in any of the closer neighborhoods). There are tons of converted multi-family homes, (2-4 apartments in a tall large single home), and some big apartment complexes too, so people are pretty packed in, but I find it to be much more pleasant than many of the other Boston neighborhoods which are too densely populated for my taste. I have met some of my favorite people here - there are so many people, and tons of different ethnicities, notably Italian, Irish, Jewish, Chinese, Indian, and Brazilian people. Many others as well - you will find a friend here, just by odds alone. I love the diversity! Many of the people I have met are the best and the brightest from other countries coming here for jobs

Malden, MA

Malden is a good location. It is about 10 miles north of Boston. Malden is on the Orange line (Mass. Bay Transit Authority) which provides easy access to Boston and many neighborhoods around the Boston area. If you don't have a car or you don't feel like driving, you can still get around and do the fun things that Boston has to offer. You can take the train to see the Red Sox play at Fenway Park or enjoy the Pops and fireworks at the Hatch Shell on July

Malden lacks things to do
- 2/8/2008
Formerly a blue-collar town, it's slowly being gentrified with the cost of living rise in metro boston, and the mix hasn't been a good one for Malden. The downtown area was poorly revamped 20? or so years ago - the city government relocated city hall right in the middle of a busy city street, turning it into an essentially dead-end street. So, the downtown area is fairly depressed, with lots of vacant stores. There are no children's activity centers in the town, beyond school-age soccer. Events and activities in Malden are poorly advertised in local papers and are not usually mentioned on the city web site. Most families I know travel to surrounding towns (medford, melrose) for most of their activities and

Close to Boston, Diverse But Congested
- 1/21/2008
Malden in right on the Orange Line of the MBTA. And even with a walk to the station, you can often get to a Boston job in less than a half hour. It is also wonderfully diverse with many Asian and other ethnicities in the social mix, providing much variety in everything from groceries to restaurants to local festivals and events. But Malden is also a very congested area, with heavy traffic. In addition, because of poor city planning (they plopped the modern City Hall literally in the middle of a major street, blocking off "downtown" Malden from the rest of the city), shopping and social life in the city are not what they should be. Still, it is close in to the city, but still relatively reasonable. Worth a look for those moving to the Boston area and wanting a quick commute and reasonable housing
