Homes over a million dollars North of Boston

What does $1,000,000 buy you North of Boston?
Well… that depends on which community you fall in love with!

Here north of the city, every town has its own vibe—and its own version of a million-dollar dream home. In some neighborhoods, $1M might get you a charming 1930s Colonial that’s been thoughtfully updated with today’s modern comforts. In others, that same price could land you a sleek new-construction home—maybe on a busier street, but with all the bells and whistles. And in certain pockets, you’ll find beautifully renovated Capes with lush backyards that feel like your own private retreat.

That’s what makes shopping for homes North of Boston so exciting—your options are as diverse as the communities themselves. Are you looking for award-winning schools? Low property taxes? A commuter-friendly train station? Or maybe the idea of living near hiking trails, a bustling downtown, or a quiet neighborhood tucked away from it all makes your heart skip a beat.

Wherever your priorities fall on the spectrum of lifestyle and location, there’s a community here that matches your vision—and a million-dollar home that brings it to life.
