Housing Costs
Maynard's median home value runs well below Acton, Stow, Sudbury, and Concord — towns with comparable commute access — and within a few percent of Hudson and Marlborough. Property tax bills follow a similar pattern: Maynard homeowners pay less than the four higher-priced towns but more than Hudson or Marlborough, a reflection of Maynard's smaller commercial tax base.

Median Real Estate Taxes Paid
Annual, owner-occupied units — the ACS reports a maximum of “$10,000 or more,” so bars at the top are minimums
Income & Commute
Household income tracks home prices across these towns. Maynard sits in the middle of the group — above Hudson and Marlborough, below the four wealthiest neighbors — which is much of why its housing stays comparatively attainable. Commute times are similar everywhere: the whole cluster sits in the same band west of Route 128, within a few minutes of one another.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, 2020–2024, for town-level county subdivisions. Real estate taxes are the median paid by owner-occupied households (table B25103); the ACS top-codes this at $10,000, so values shown as “$10,000+” are minimums. All figures are estimates with margins of error; smaller towns have wider margins.
