The Middlesex County town of Acton is situated about 21 miles west-northwest of Boston. Bordered by Littleton, Westford, Concord and Stowe, it had a population of around 22,000 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. Covered primarily by the 01720 zip code, this town is made up of five “village centers” that serve as mini neighborhoods within it. These include North Acton, South Acton, West Acton and Acton Center. Beyond these neighborhoods, the area is largely forested, so it has a more bucolic and tranquil feel to it.

Compared with a city like Boston, Acton is a fairly low-key place, and its real estate market is no different. Far less competitive than that of major metro areas, it still presents challenges to those seeking houses, apartments, townhouses and other residential properties. In particular, the inventory of available properties usually tends to be fairly low, as there simply aren’t very many in the first place. If you have your heart set on settling in this town, however, don’t worry. With help from Boston City Properties, you can find precisely what you need far more quickly and efficiently. Given all of the help that we provide, you might assume that there’s a fee involved. However, all of these services are available to you free of charge, including our powerful searchable database.

Home values and prices in Acton tend to be a bit on the high end—at least when compared with state averages. In Massachusetts, for example, the median list price for a home is around $419,000. Most recently in this town, by comparison, the median list price was right around $665,000. Homes list for around that amount, but the average closing price is a bit more reasonable at $546,000. While the average price per square foot across the state is around $242, in this town it is closer to $255. As mentioned previously, housing inventory here tends to be low. Lately, there have been roughly 45 homes on the market at any given time, and the median days on market is 32. This shows that while homes may not sell immediately, they aren’t lingering for months, either.

What kind of property are you seeking in Acton? You can take your pick from single-family homes, townhomes and condos and apartments. Find out how our team can help in each instance:

Single-family homes – In Acton, the majority of residential properties—61 percent—are single-family homes. If that’s what you’re after, then, you are most likely to find what you need. As mentioned before, the median sale price for homes in this town is around $546,000, and the average price per square foot is around $255. Use our search tool to pinpoint single-family homes in this town that suit your needs in terms of price, size, beds and baths and more.
Townhomes and condos – Unlike in more densely populated areas like inner cities, Acton doesn’t have quite as much to offer in terms of condos and townhomes. As noted before, around 9 percent of properties here are classified as townhouses, so they only make up a tiny fraction of the market. As in most areas, townhomes and condos are usually purchased rather than rented, but rental properties are sometimes available. Regardless of whether you’re buying or renting—or whether you need a condo or townhome—our search tool offers the quickest, easiest way to find what you need.
Apartments – Renting an apartment in Acton tends to be a bit more affordable than it is elsewhere in the state. In fact, the median monthly rent for the state in general is $2,500 while the average monthly rent in this town is around $1,840. While prices may be a bit more affordable, availability tends to be low. That’s not just because vacancy rates are so low but because this town simply has a limited inventory of apartments. As a result, they tend to be rented quickly, so it pays to have access to timely information. Get that and more by signing up with Boston City Properties.
