384.0. "info on Arthur Street area" by SMAUG::MILLER (Valerie Miller) Wed Jul 29 1992 18:59

    
    I am looking for information about the area of Maynard that includes
    Arthur Street.  I am considering renting 1/2 of a 2-family house there.
    Is this a nice part of town?  Safe, etc?  How old are the houses in
    that area?  Are there any problems?
    
    Any information appreciated --

384.1My impressions of Arthur StreetSENIOR::IGNACHUCKNative MaynardianThu Jul 30 1992 03:4022
    Arthur Street is one of the presidential streets in what is known
    as the "new village", although the homes were built in the 20's
    and 30's.  
    
    I've never lived in that section, but my aunt has owned a home on
    Arthur Street for over 40 years.  My impression is that it
    is a mature, stable area, with many, many long time residents/owners.
    Most houses are duplexes with the owner occupying one side and
    a tenant or relative on the other side.  The area is quiet, 
    and the neighborhood seems to be tightly knit, friendly and very
    well maintained.  This would indicate to me that there is a stong
    sense of pride in the neighborhood. 
    
    In all my years in Maynard, I have never known of any problems
    in this area.   
    
    To use your words, I would definitely consider Arthur Street a 
    "nice part of town."
    
    Hope this helps, 
    Frank
