Needham Golf Course Have you Seen the New Clubhouse?

Wonderful not just for the golfer but for lunch, dinner, and an intimate wedding, celebrations, special events in Needham, MA. Warm and inviting and the food is excellent. Such an asset to our town.

This is a semi-private golf club with 9 holes and it actually began in 1901. Imagine that?

Best Beaches Near Needham, MA

It is going to be a great beach week and if you are in my neck of the woods here are some suggestions and i will add more as the week goes on.

Not too far to drive would be Crane's beach. It is wonderful and I went there growing up and have very fond memories. North of Boston, head to Crane Beach in Ipswich, one of the most picturesque sqimming beaches in all of New England, on Argilla Road, Ipswich, MA 978-356-4354

Top off the day with clams or go to Woodman's in Essex and really have a super time. What a blast that would be.

Then my all time favorite is Wingersheek in Gloucester on Atlantic Avenue. Gotta go and spend a day there. It is a delight.

I love Nantasket Beach and it is even closer than the first 2 beaches. Growing up I lived closer to Cranes and Wingersheek Beach. Nantasket is really wonderful and a pretty ride.

Stay tuned for more blogs on beaches near Needham, MA.

For sure the the average list price has increased quite a bit at 12% over last year and the ratio from list to sale price is pretty constant from year to year. The luxury market is slower but still homes are selling well in Needham. The concentration is still in the first time buyer price ranges of $500k and $600k. In the state of Massachusetts the unemployment is far better than many other states. Due to the close proximity of Boston. The fact is that Needham and other communities have seen a price increase. We don' always hear the good news in the media but there is some good news in the Real Estate market.

Needham offers a wonderful community with the finest of schools both private and public. I know that often those living in the city want to move to Needham because their friends have and the have heard of the wonderful schools and community spirit Needham has.

We are certainly fortunate to have all that Needham offers for all ages.
