Within about 500 m (a third of a mile): 1 active tier-classified 21E site and 1 site with an Activity and Use Limitation. All MassDEP sites in Essex.
What this means
- Assessed 49% below the median single family residential in Essex ($791,500, 989 parcels).
- The last sale price is 41% below the current assessment. Massachusetts assessments aim at full market value as of January 1 of the year before the fiscal year.
- A tier-classified site is a release still being cleaned up under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan; the MassDEP file shows the stage reached.
- Built before 1978: the Massachusetts Lead Law applies when a child under six lives there; ask for any lead inspection or letter of compliance.
