Boston's northern neighbor Chelsea may be one of Massachusetts' smallest cities, but it's one of the biggest in terms of property deals. Prices appear to range right now from $500,000 down to the low $200,000, comparable on average to Boston's Dorchester, with room to spare.

This week’s open house tour ranges from a single-family to a gut-renovated condo. Chelsea has been steadily on the rise in the last few years, with growing interest via new development and transportation projects.
