    Malden’s 02148 blends suburban calm with urban energy just north of Boston, anchored by the Orange Line at Malden Center and Oak Grove and quick access to Route 1 and I‑93. Streets span Victorian homes and newer apartments, with four-season New England weather—snowy winters, vibrant fall foliage, and warm summers—setting the backdrop for walks along the Northern Strand Community Trail and picnics at Pine Banks and Fellsmere parks. The historic Converse Memorial Library adds culture, while Boda Borg, community festivals, and a lively farmers market foster a welcoming, diverse vibe that’s family- and pet-friendly. Day-to-day conveniences are easy: Stop & Shop and 88 Supermarket for groceries, Bikeeny Caffe for coffee, All Seasons Table and Faces Brewing Co. for dining and local brews, Planet Fitness and local studios for workouts, and nearby Assembly Row for bigger shopping and nights out. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent in the mid-$2,000s, with most apartments ranging from the low $2,000s to low $3,000s over the past few months.
