A neighbor's read on Hood Park & Downtown Derry.
Downtown Derry around Hood Park has quietly turned a corner in the last five years. The Derry Opera House runs a real season, Hood Park hosts summer concerts and a farmers market, and the main street has coffee shops and restaurants that actually stay open past 8pm.
The housing stock is a mix of older multi-families, town-center singles, and small professional condos. Entry-level prices, real walkability.

Comps you cannot search
Closed price is not the whole story. Concessions, contingencies, how many offers it had. I know what the house actually sold for, not just the headline number.
