Maplewood Highlands, located between Maplewood Square and the Middlesex Fells Reservation, is a residential and hillside Malden neighborhood with tree-lined streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Maplewood Square at Maplewood Street and Lebanon Street, where corner storefronts and everyday errands set a steady, local rhythm. Early-20th-century two- and three-family homes and compact single-family houses define the streetscape, with small porches and tidy front yards. The climb toward the Fells brings quieter blocks and trailhead energy at the edge of the woods. Malden Center’s dining and arts scene sits a short ride away, while the Highlands keeps a more residential cadence.
