Living in South Easton

Overview

About South Easton

South Easton is the half of town most buyers drive through first — the 02375 ZIP south of Five Corners, where Route 138, Route 106, and Turnpike Street cross. The market has stayed competitive through 2025 and into 2026: the median sale price in 02375 has run near $540,000 over the past twelve months, while town-wide Easton posted a median of about $630,000 in May 2026, up 19.4% year over year, with homes going under agreement in roughly 20 days and drawing two offers on average. The value story is the reason to shop this side of town. North Easton's 02356 ZIP recorded a median closer to $749,000, and South Easton listings have been running around $277 per square foot — so the same budget buys more house, and usually more land, here.

Housing stock is where South Easton separates itself. Sawmill Village on Foundry Street — Route 106 — is a 44-home community of geothermal, all-electric single-family houses from the Coneco Building Team, priced from roughly $840,000 to $895,000 and representing some of the only true new construction in Easton. At the other end of the budget, Fox Run at 15 Foundry Street is a 60-unit complex built in 1974 where a one-bedroom sold for $293,000 in February 2025 and two-bedrooms have traded near $390,000 — one of the few ways into Easton under $400,000. Rolling Pines adds 163 more condo units dating to 1976. Daily errands run through Five Corners, a commercial crossroads since the mid-1700s, and the Roche Bros.-anchored plaza on Washington Street, which doubles as Route 138 through town.

What South Easton trades in walk-to-village charm it returns in access and taxes. Route 106 reaches Route 24 in minutes for the run north to Boston or south toward Providence — the village sits roughly halfway between the two cities — and Route 138 heads straight up to Stoughton's MBTA commuter rail station on the Providence/Stoughton Line. Schools are town-wide, so every South Easton student follows the same path as North Easton: Blanche A. Ames Elementary, Richardson Olmsted, Easton Middle, and Oliver Ames High School, ranked 63rd of 349 Massachusetts high schools with a 96.7% four-year graduation rate. Golfers have the semi-private Easton Country Club on Purchase Street, and Borderland State Park spreads 1,843 acres of trails across the Easton–Sharon line — where Easton's FY2026 tax rate of $12.59 per $1,000 sits roughly a quarter below Sharon's $17.15.
