THE BOTTOM LINE

Lexington, Winchester, Concord, and Sudbury ($212K-$235K median income) are dual-income professional territory: tech + healthcare, finance + law, consulting + education. Elite schools (#5-#11 statewide), 25-40 min Boston commutes, walkability varies dramatically. Choose Lexington for maximum school prestige (accept tutoring culture), Winchester for walkability + character, Concord for history + nature, Sudbury for 45% cost savings.

WHO NEEDS THIS

Dual-income professionals earning $200K-$400K combined; families with both partners working in Boston tech/finance/healthcare; buyers prioritizing elite schools + career proximity; households converting W-2 income to $1.2M-$1.54M home equity over 10-15 years.

KEY INSIGHTS

•All four towns: $210K-$235K median income = dual-career professional territory
•Lexington #4 per capita income but requires $100/hr tutoring to stay competitive
•Winchester unique: walkability (score 58) + 2 commuter rail stops + town character
•Concord: 53.9% 5-year appreciation (highest in group) = historical premium pricing in
•Sudbury: $1.2M homes = 45% savings vs Lexington for similar school quality (#11 vs #5-7)

DO THIS NEXT

Map both careers to Boston: if both partners commute daily, Winchester wins (commuter rail + walkability). If schools > convenience, Lexington delivers (accept tutoring costs). If history/culture matter, Concord justifies premium. If value optimization, Sudbury offers elite schools at compressed pricing.
