Today’s Globe has a story that lists the most affordable towns in eastern Massachusetts. Four of the top ten are part of our ten-town Middlesex North District. They are Wilmington (#2), Tewksbury (#3), Billerica (#6) and Dracut (#8). Only one Middlesex North Town was in the ten least affordable towns - that was Carlisle at #8. The report is based on a computer program developed by the MIT Center for Real Estate. The ranking is based on percentage of all houses, condominiums and apartments within the town that would be affordable for a family of four. Other factors such as the quality of the school system, availability of jobs and the amount of open space were also taken into account. Congratulations to Wilmington, Tewksbury, Billerica and Dracut for making it onto the list.
