Needham

A solid town, with great schools, and access to most commutes.

Welcome to Needham

Needham is well known for playing a big part in the history of building Boston. When the Back Bay of Boston was being filled in back in the 1850s, much of the landfill came from Needham. Eventually, many years later in the 1930s it experienced a surge in population and increased by 50%.
 
Today, thanks to its ideal location with easy access to Routes 128 and 90, shopping, and services, it has continued to be a top pick for those looking for a solid town, great schools, and access to most commutes. As times have progressed, many families are growing and have different needs in their homes. It is not uncommon to see many of the older, smaller homes being either renovated, added onto, or in some cases knocked down and rebuilt with homes that are more suitable for today’s needs.
