Malden is a walkable, diverse city just north of Boston with a lively downtown of cafés, international restaurants, and easy access to green space like the Middlesex Fells—great for multi-week stays that feel more lively than “stuck.”
You’re minutes from Boston and Cambridge via the MBTA Orange Line and short transit rides, so you get a quieter neighborhood base plus fast access to big‑city arts, dining and hospitals on days off.
