These homes are on view and up for grabs this weekend
Just west of Boston and Cambridge, there's Watertown. The city of around 31,000 souls offers a range of housing types and architectural styles. Don't believe us? Sample some open houses there this week, including one for a total redo of a classic cape and one for a charming Victorian.
All of them are conveniently available for under $700,000. That sum would represent a relative steal in Watertown's neighbors to the east, especially when you consider the space.
