Our Take

Medford is a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood with plenty of homes for sale, but it's a bit isolated from public transportation and has a high flood risk. It's a solid choice for those who prioritize space and a suburban lifestyle, but be aware of the potential for flooding and limited access to amenities.
