About Follen

Heights

Follen Heights, located between Massachusetts Avenue and the Minuteman Bikeway, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a leafy, low-rise feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Ave corridor near Waltham Street, where small storefronts, cafés, and everyday services set a steady, walk-and-stop rhythm. Nearby pillars include Cary Memorial Library, Lexington Venue, and the Lexington Farmers Market on the Town Green. Side streets read as tidy postwar blocks with occasional Colonials, while the bikeway adds a linear, car-free route for daily routines. Pocket parks and school grounds shape the open-space pattern, and the town center’s civic buildings give the area a polished New England backdrop.
