Needham, MA: Family ROI Micro-Area Heat Map for SFHs in MBTA Overlays

Needham is a 'Commuter Rail' MBTA community with four stations: Heights, Center, Junction, Hersey. After a scaled-down Base Compliance Plan passed in May 2025, Needham now has a Multi-Family Overlay District with multiple station-area subdistricts. With strong fundamentals but overlay details and politics still stabilizing, this is a selective/cautious long with heavy emphasis on micro-location and price discipline.
