Community Profile

Although the building boom in Medford has subsided, a few new homes - usually post-modern Victorians and Colonials - continue to sprout. "Any new construction is the top-end variety," said Brian Marino of Prudential Douglas Elliman in Medford.

The area's housing stock also includes ranch styles, capes and split-levels.

Buyers also can find condos and town houses listed from the $270,000s to the high $400,000 range. -Lisa Doll Bruno (8/16/2006)
