Methodology

TownRatings™ is a proprietary model developed by Team Coyle to provide homebuyers and sellers with a relative assessment of a town’s key characteristics, benchmarked against other select 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. They are not guarantees, objective rankings, or a substitute for independent research. Users should consult the appropriate licensed or qualified professionals and independently verify all relevant facts before making any real estate or related decision. Ratings are current as of March 31, 2026.

RATING CATEGORIES

  • Quality of Schools: Based on Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) 2024 data, with emphasis on Grade 10 MCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates and 4-year high school graduation rates. These measures are used as general indicators only and do not capture every aspect of school quality or student experience.
    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 relative density and variety of retail and restaurant options within a town or in adjacent hubs.
    Scale: Excellent · Good · Limited
  • Lifestyle: A general descriptive summary of a town’s overall character (e.g., Upscale, Rural, Historic, Suburban, Urban/Vibrant). This category is descriptive only and is not intended to suggest who should or should not live in any community.
  • Est. Annual Property Tax: Calculated by averaging the 2025 and 2026 median sale prices per MLSPIN and applying the town’s residential property tax rate (per $1,000 of assessed value), based on data as of March 31, 2026. This is an estimate only and is not a prediction of the taxes due on any specific property.

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.
