Dana Hall Area
Named for the renowned Dana Hall School — tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and proximity to Wellesley Square.
About Dana Hall Area
The Dana Hall Area takes its name and character from the prestigious Dana Hall School, an all-girls boarding and day school whose leafy campus anchors the neighborhood. The surrounding streets are some of the most desirable in Wellesley — close enough to the Square to walk for dinner or a train, but set back on quiet, tree-lined blocks with the kind of established, settled feel that only decades of careful stewardship can produce. The homes are beautifully maintained Colonials and Tudors, many with original period details and thoughtful modern updates.
Property Character
Well-maintained Colonials, Tudors, and Capes on generous lots with mature landscaping. Proximity to Wellesley Square keeps demand high. Homes tend to be well-preserved rather than teardown candidates.
