Some things you don’t often see in the same sentence: affordable single-family homes in Boston.

But these West Roxbury numbers range from $445,000 to $800,000—relatively affordable for a single-family around these parts.

What you get is a sizable difference compared with homes closer to the core of the city— from a massive arts-and-craft home with six bedrooms to a colonial charmer ready for your personal touch.
