Neighborhood history

Roots run deep

Anderson Heights grew up just north of Five Points in the late 1920s through the early 1950s, with recent sales showing build years from 1928 to 1952. A state historic preservation survey groups it with Budleigh and Fallon Park as neighborhoods where larger "minimal traditional" houses went up quickly in the late 1930s, many financed through the FHA. It also notes that Anderson Heights developers "were still following tried and true formulae from the 1920s" just before World War II.

You'll still see storybook cottages, brick colonials and Tudor-inspired homes from that era. Since the 2000s, though, many original homes have been replaced by large custom builds, especially along Claremont Road and Anderson Drive.

That mix is what defines Anderson Heights today. Original homes sell in the $700Ks to about $1.2M, and newer custom homes run $1.5M to nearly $3M.
