Homes & Neighborhoods

Redfin's latest three-month measure through July 2026 shows a median sale price of $238,918 in Westwood, up 20.1% year over year. Homes sold in a median 45 days, with 61 sales in the period. Westwood's large footprint includes older single-family homes, bungalows, Cape Cods, duplexes and pockets of larger historic housing; because the neighborhood varies so much by street, the median should be treated as a broad reference point rather than a block-level estimate.
