Bellingham Condos
Overview
Located 30 miles southwest of Boston, this city offers excellent proximity to a variety of urban amenities. As a result, it has a thriving condo market, with a healthy mixture of established properties and brand new developments. The average purchase price per square foot is $200, and the monthly association fees range between $220 and $350. With 18.5 square miles of land within the city limits, the area has a median density that limits the heights of most residential developments to no more than three stories. However, some of the developments closer to the city center exceed this height. Many residential units come with either private gardens or a large communal green space that often takes the form of a courtyard. The majority of the existing properties were built in 1980 or later, although a few units from the end of the 19th century have been refurbished and placed back on the market.

Inside the Market
Generally speaking, this town is perfect for those who are seeking a large, comfortable living space that either occupies its own lot or is close to a significant green space. Most of the units in this town make the most of their surroundings with high ceilings, skylights, open plan layouts in the common areas, and insulated windows that flood the interiors with light while reducing overall energy costs. Fireplaces are a common feature in this area, and often act as a kind of central focus in the great rooms. Many of them have working hearths, although some have done away with the hearth and have a non-removable pane of glass with a gas-powered log installation that provides heat. Depending on the year of construction, some of the properties will feature exposed brick and timber beams, while others are careful to camouflage these features.
Most of the residential units in town have a clapboard exterior with gabled roofs, although some properties feature a vintage brick exterior. A few highly modern units favor a more modern aesthetic, with a partly aluminum or glass facade. Neoclassical touches are common throughout the city, with colonnades often helping to denote the main entrance to a dwelling. Because of the propensity for rain and snow during the winter months, many dwellings feature covered entryways to help visitors protect themselves against the weather. Exterior balconies or staircases with sizable landings that extend into decks are also common, especially for units that span several stories in height. Landscaping here favors trees and meticulously trimmed hedges, creating a feeling of peace and serenity.
The newer developments often take the form of townhouses, with several units either joined in a row, or built to surround a central courtyard. Some units have dedicated garages that can double as storage spaces if the tenant does not wish to own a car. Other units are built to take advantage of the nearest public transit. Several major routes pass through town, including Interstate 495, Route 126, and State Route 140. The increasing number of new developments has dramatically increased the city’s infrastructure, which has helped to spur other mixed-use developments. New retail and office spaces have either recently completed construction or are poised to break ground soon. All of these developments bode well for the continued increasing value of properties within the city.
Due to both the increasing population and proposed developments in neighboring Woonsocket, Rhode Island, a dedicated commuter rail line may soon run through the town, which would only make the area more desirable for both potential developers and residents. Currently, the closest commuter rail line is located a few miles away in the adjoining town of Franklin via the MBTA Franklin line.
