Welcome To Melrose
Melrose has a unique neighborhood atmosphere, with a thriving business community, an excellent school system, and a local hospital in addition to numerous healthcare and elder care facilities.
Melrose is a very walkable suburb, located approximately seven miles north of Boston and is situated in the center of the triangle created by Interstates 93, 95 and US Route 1. Although the only highway in Melrose is a tiny part of Route 99, the city has access to many nearby highways including Route 1 in Saugus, Interstate 93 in Stoneham, Massachusetts Route 16 In Everett and Route 128/Interstate 95 in Wakefield. The city is also served by the MBTA. Service includes five bus routes: 106, 131, 132, 136 and 137.
There are three commuter rail stations: Wyoming Hill, Melrose/Cedar Park, and Melrose Highlands. Oak Grove, the northern terminus of the MBTA’s Orange Line subway system, is located in Malden on the Melrose city line. Oak Grove is primarily a park-and-ride station with 788 parking spaces.
The city’s quaint downtown is lined with gas lamps and is a truly special destination for dining, shopping, and the arts.
