The Flats of Winchester, MA

The Flats of Winchester, MA The area known as “the Flats” is recognized as one of Boston’s first planned suburban developments.

The land here is truly “flat” and allowed developers in the 1890’s to lay the streets out on a grid, not found in other areas of town. Impressive examples of Late Victorian architecture prevail in this neighborhood, including Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Tudor. Lots sizes are generally uniform in shape and range from approximately 8,000 to 18,000 square feet. Residents enjoy the wide sidewalk

s and strong neighborhood spirit in the Flats. The neighborhood was developed in the 1890s, carved from a parcel of land known as "The Flats," between Wi******er's hills and the Aberjona River.
