Buying a Single Family in Central Square

Buying a single family in Central Square is definitely expensive! Generally what I find (as of this writing of 12/12/2025), is that you’ll get a small, less updated, 1 or 2 bed house with less than 1,200 square feet for around $1M to $1.2M range. 

From around the $1.4M to $1.7M range you’ll get some updated 2-beds and 3-bed single families. 

And from the $1.8M to $2.2M range you’ll start getting some nice, but often small (think around 1,600 to 2,000 sq ft) homes.

Luxury brand new single families OR beautifully updated victorians come up occasionally walking distance to Central Square as well, but expect to spend roughly $3M to $4M range for these. 

In general, expect only 3 or 4 options for each of these bucks each year on-market. Occasionally I can also find options off-market, although those are fairly rare too. In general, single family housing stock in Central Square is very limited so if you’ve decided this is what you must have plan for a longer search time frame and patience!
