The 2,000-square-foot Unit 12 at 12 Vivian Drive in Watertown Square includes four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The $599,900 tag includes two parking spaces and a fenced-in yard. The condo fee is $150.

Unit 3 at 76 Hovey Street is also in the Watertown Square area and is also asking $599,900. It runs to 2,212 square feet and includes multiple levels with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms total. The price also covers two garaged parking spaces.

Another Watertown Square-area number, the Cape Cod at 41 Charles Street is asking $595,000. The 1,163-square-foot three-bedroom, one-bathroom includes a new driveway.
