East Natick
Proximity to the Natick Mall corridor and Route 9, newer construction, and convenient access to Wellesley and Newton.
About East Natick
East Natick is where the town meets the modern suburbs. Closer to the Wellesley border and the Route 9 corridor, this area has more recent development — subdivisions from the 1980s-2000s, townhouse communities, and some newer single-family construction. The Natick Mall (Natick Collection) is in this part of town, along with the big-box retail and restaurants that line Route 9. It's less charming than Natick Center or South Natick, but it's practical: highway access is immediate, shopping is everywhere, and the homes are often newer with modern layouts that don't require renovation.
Property Character
More recent construction on cul-de-sacs and planned developments. Contemporary layouts, attached garages, and smaller but well-maintained lots. Less historic character, more move-in ready.
