Why Wellesley Is a Luxury Real Estate Hub

The median home price stands at $1.97 million. Driven by top-tier public and private schools and the presence of institutions like Wellesley College and Babson College, the town continues to attract affluent, educated buyers seeking both prestige and community. Wellesley’s historic character, leafy streets, and generous lot sizes further cement its allure among luxury clients.
