Alright, Homes are going for about $607,500 on average. With a population of 65,509, Malden is a smaller city. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Thoughts? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value school system, you'll love it. The housing market is genuinely better than expected and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Pine Hills) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. weather is completely different here. And Road conditions need improvement.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
