Is your home bigger than you realistically need today?

If you answer yes, it may be a sign your current home no longer fits your lifestyle or space needs. Team Coyle can help you explore options such as downsizing, relocating, or moving closer to the people and places you love.

Do friends or family now live farther away than you’d like?

If you answer yes, moving closer to family or friends could improve your quality of life. Team Coyle can walk you through what a thoughtful move closer to loved ones might look like in Greater Boston and beyond.

Does daily upkeep, stairs, or yardwork feel increasingly overwhelming?

If you answer yes, it may be time to consider a home that’s easier to maintain. Team Coyle can help you evaluate smaller homes, condos, or low-maintenance options that better match your current lifestyle.

Are property taxes, utilities, or maintenance costs exceeding your budget?

If you answer yes, a move could improve your financial picture. Team Coyle can help you understand what your current home is worth and what a smarter, more affordable next move could be.

Methodology

TownRatings™ is a proprietary model developed by Team Coyle to provide homebuyers and sellers with a relative rating (assessment) of a town’s key characteristics, benchmarked against other Greater Boston towns. Ratings are based on publicly available data and Team Coyle’s on-the-ground expertise and are intended as a general guide only. Please consult a licensed real estate professional before making any real estate decisions. Ratings are current as of October 4, 2025.

RATING CATEGORIES

Quality of Schools: Based on Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) 2024 data, emphasizing Grade 10 MCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates and 4-year high school graduation rates. Together, these measures provide a snapshot of academic achievement and long-term outcomes.
Scale: Above Average · Average · Below Average
Commute to Boston: Assesses commuting ease using travel time, distance, and in-town transit access. For towns with MBTA rail or subway service, commute times are measured to the line’s natural Boston endpoint (e.g., North Station, South Station, or Back Bay). For towns without in-town service, commute times are measured by car to Back Bay as the default reference point.
Scale: Easy · Moderate · Challenging
Shopping & Dining: Reflects the density and variety of retail and restaurant options within a town or in adjacent hubs.
Scale: Excellent · Good · Limited
Lifestyle: A general description a town's overall character (e.g., Upscale, Rural, Historic, Suburban, Urban/Vibrant).
Est. Annual Tax per $1M: The town’s residential property tax rate applied to $1,000,000 of value (as of the report date) for easy comparison.

HOW RATINGS ARE DERIVED

Ratings are determined using a blend of publicly reported data (e.g., DESE reports, MBTA schedules, municipal tax rates, business directories), mapping and transportation tools, and qualitative insights from Team Coyle agents active in these markets.
