Commuter rail zones
The Commuter Rail system is divided into 11 fare zones (Zone 1A to Zone 10), with Zone 1A representing stations closest to downtown Boston. Commuter rail zones generally indicate distance from downtown. Specific median home prices per square foot by commuter rail zone were not identified in the search results but a strong correlation between proximity to the city center (lower zone numbers) and higher property values can be inferred.
