West of Boston · Massachusetts

Overview

Welcome to
Stow.

Stow is one of MetroWest's more rural towns, known for its apple orchards, extensive conservation land, and a spread-out, low-density feel that's increasingly rare this close to Boston. Route 117 and nearby Route 495 keep it connected, while the town itself stays quiet — mostly single-family homes on larger lots, with none of the density of its neighbors to the east.

About these numbers

Figures cover single-family homes in Stow, MA, sourced from MLS data via the Lofty API. Median sale price, price per square foot, and homes sold reflect the trailing 12 months; year-over-year compares that window to the 12 months before it. Median days on market is computed from each sale's list-to-close date, not Lofty's raw "days on site" field, which tracks total listing lifetime rather than time to sale. Ask us for a current, address-specific valuation.
