I agree with Lisa's excellent answer -- another advantage is Winter Street gives quick access to the Natick shopping areas and other points West. Winter Street is also registered as a Scenic Road with the Town of Weston. I've also seen that there can be water table and wetland issues in this neighborhood, like much of Weston.

Hello. Bogle street is somewhat traveled. Also, you do have some smaller lots and closer quarters than in other parts of Weston. This is good or bad, depending on your preferences.

Mary, as for River St., there is one property on the market right now that is rather close to Rt. 95/128. Proximity to a main highway is most often a detriment and is reflected in the price of a home.

Best of luck to both of you in your searches!! Andrea

Hi-this isn't an answer but another question regarding weston property values. There is a property listed on River road that seems pretty reasonable. Is it because it's close to the highway? too noisy?

FIRST ANSWER

Hi A. Fraser:

Winter Street and Bogle Street see a moderate to high level of traffic. The traffic on Bogle Street is mostly as a result of people driving to Rivers School and therefore consistent with drop-off and pick-up times, whereas Winter Street has a more consistent flow of traffic throughout the day. In general, WInter Street is closer to the Mass Pike and so has a higher level of noise than Bogle Street. I worked with a client to buy a house on Bogle Street and then to sell that same house a few years later, and depending on where the property is on Bogle Street, there can be some water/wetland issues. The pros of these two streets are that they are conveniently located near the Wellesley line, are on the Southside of Weston (which has an appeal, especially for re-sale) and have easy access to commuting routes....not to mention that they are lovely roads with many beautiful houses.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or need for additional information in the Weston and Wellesley markets.

Best,
