Why Malden?

Malden is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets when it comes to finding a place to live and settle down. A city that is close to Boston, Malden is home to varied and distinct neighborhoods that give it a small town feel, but with the evolution and growth of Malden’s downtown, Malden Square is being discovered by more and more in the Boston area as a place to live, work, and create a sense of community. Historically, Malden is a community that boasts a strong commitment to education, close-knit neighborhoods, great recreational amenities and an active business community. Add to this the city’s ongoing desire and real efforts to forge partnerships with artists and bolster an active arts community and it explains why the city is so attractive for local artists to live and work in, helping to create Malden as a cultural destination.
