What MassDEP has recorded
- RTN 2-0011858 — Residential property, activity and use limitation, status RAO, class A3, AUL recorded January 2, 1998 · MassDEP file
Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 0 active tier-classified 21E sites and 1 site with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Acton.
What this means
- Assessed 28% below the median single family residential in Acton ($879,100, 5,011 parcels).
- The last deed was recorded for a nominal sum: a transfer between family members, into a trust or a similar non-market sale. It says nothing about the market value.
- An Activity and Use Limitation is a deed restriction: it limits how the land may be used (often no residential use or no digging) and passes to every buyer.
- Built before 1978: the Massachusetts Lead Law applies when a child under six lives there; ask for any lead inspection or letter of compliance.
