What lights cost on the usual Chelmsford house
Detached single-family houses make up about 75 percent of Chelmsford's housing (ACS 2024), with a median build year of 1967, so the common stock is mid-century colonials, capes and ranches on town streets. The town page names Chelmsford Center, North Chelmsford, South Chelmsford and West Chelmsford as its village areas. Style label is an inference from build year; the census gives no style data.
| Single-family | 75% |
|---|---|
| 2 to 4 unit buildings | 4% |
| 5+ unit buildings | 19% |
| Owner-occupied | 82% |
| Median year built | 1967 |
| Example frontage | 42 ft |
| Example roofline | 46 ft |
| Tier | Up to 60 ft |
| Price | $695 |
| Same tier, bundled with a Snow Pass (10% off, up to $100) | $625 |
Example, not a quote. Frontage and roofline are our estimates for this house type; the census figures are from ACS 2024 5-year estimates.
