Temple Place Condos in Andover MA: What Do They Sell For?

You aren't buying walls. You're buying everything inside them.

At Temple Place, everything inside those walls includes more than 100 years of history, an old court off High Street and a short drive to the train.

You've found a three bedroom condo here, and you love the old house feel. You're also a little nervous. Old homes can surprise you, and a condo fee is a bill that never goes away.

If you're stuck on this, you aren't alone. It's the exact question my partners and I help you answer. Here's what Temple Place really sells for, what the fee covers, and what to check before you write an offer.

Old homes reward the buyer who reads the condo documents first.

Where is Temple Place?

Temple Place is a short court off High Street, in the town center historic district of Andover MA, zip code 01810.

The downtown Andover MA commuter rail stop on Railroad Street is a short drive. Trains run on the MBTA line into North Station in Boston. Main Street shops, places to eat and Memorial Hall Library are close too.

The Andover MA public schools serve the complex. The class of 2025 graduated at 98.1 percent, per the state's official report. Look up the exact school for the unit on the state's school profiles site.

The FY2026 tax rate is $12.31 per $1,000 of assessed value, per the town. A condo assessed at $650,000 would pay about $8,000 a year.

What kinds of homes are in Temple Place?

You'll find condos in old two family homes and duplexes, all with three bedrooms in recent sales.

Here's the history, per the town's historic building records. Jacob W. Barnard, a local shoe maker, laid out Temple Place in 1895. Rental homes went up starting in 1897. His son built the last three duplexes from 1913 to 1916. Early renters worked at the town's mills and downtown shops.

A local developer bought the homes in 1971. They became the Temple Place Condominiums in 1973. Today there are eight buildings and 17 units, and some of them face High Street, per the town's records.

Units that sold ran from 1,610 to 1,990 square feet. That's a good amount of room for a condo near downtown.

How much do condos in Temple Place sell for?

The median Temple Place condo sold for $650,000 from October 2024 to October 2026, per MLS PIN.

What does the condo fee cover?

Your fee covers the outside of the buildings, the grounds, and your water and sewer, per MLS PIN listings.

Listings show the fee includes:

• Master insurance on the buildings
• Exterior maintenance and road maintenance
• Landscaping and snow removal
• Water and sewer
• Trash pickup
• Reserve funds, the savings account for big repairs
• The management company

The median fee was $440 a month. The range ran from $415 to $543, so ask for the fee on the exact unit you like.

What amenities are there?

Temple Place doesn't list a clubhouse or pool. Your amenity is the location.

MLS PIN listings note the train, shopping, parks, trails and highway access nearby. You're close to downtown Andover MA, so most of your errands are a quick trip.

Is Temple Place a 55+ community?

No. Temple Place isn't age restricted, so you don't need to meet an age rule to buy.

What are the pros and tradeoffs?

Here's how I'd lay it out for you.

The pros:

• A three bedroom home near downtown, under the town's single family median.
• The downtown train stop is close.
• Water and sewer are in the fee.
• Real history and character you can't build new.

The tradeoffs:

• The homes are more than 100 years old. Old pipes, wiring and foundations need a careful look.
• With 17 units, each owner's share of a big repair is larger.
• Units rarely come up. You may wait, and then need to move fast.

Who should compare it with what?

If Temple Place is on your list, look at these too. All numbers are MLS PIN sales from October 2024 to October 2026.

• Powder Mill Square in Andover MA: 60 condos built in the 2000s on North Main Street. You'd get newer buildings and an elevator in some units.
• Abbot's Pond in Andover MA: 45 townhouses from 1988. Average sale $676,000, median fee $393.
• Ballardvale Crossing in Andover MA: 68 townhouses built from 2004 to 2006. Average sale $679,000, median fee $429.

What should buyers check before an offer?

Read the condo documents before you fall in love. Ask for:

• The master insurance policy, and what you need to cover inside your unit
• The budget, and how much is in reserves
• Any special assessments, now or planned. A special assessment is an extra bill for a big project.
• The rules, including pet and rental rules
• The last year of meeting minutes. Roof, paint and porch plans show up here first.

Then get a full home inspection. Ask about the age of the heat, the electrical and the plumbing in your unit. Every buyer gets a lender who runs the numbers before every offer. You'll know your real monthly cost before you write it.

What should sellers know?

Your buyer is likely comparing your unit to newer condos in Andover MA, and to the last sale here.

Lead with what newer homes can't offer: the history, the court and the short trip to downtown. Have your condo documents ready on day one. Presentation and preparation matter, because buyers look hard at old homes.
