Boston Celtics continue to flock to Wellesley for homes not too far away from the Garden and about 20 minutes from the Auerbach Center practice facility: Newly acquired point guard Malcolm Brogdon is the latest according to our sources.

Brogdon is the latest in a line-up of Celtics officials or players that live or have lived in town. Current residents include Celtics executive and former coach Brad Stevens, and star forward Jaylen Brown. Ray Allen, Danny Ainge, and Gordon Hayward have been among past residents.
We’ll refrain from pinpointing Brogdon’s address, but he’s purchased a newly built home that replaced a 195os model formerly owned by an elected town official.
The 7,300-plus sq. ft. home features 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms (5 full), and a nice yard.
If the University of Virginia alum gets a hankering to shoot around, we’ve got a hoop that you’re welcome to use, Malcolm.
The 6-foot, 5-inch player, entering his seventh National Basketball League season, started his career with the Milwaukee Bucks, then spent the last three seasons with the Indiana Pacers.
An Atlanta native, Brodgon reportedly bought a $5M mansion in that city at the start of the year.
Welcome to Wellesley, and good luck with the Celts!
The latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:
YogaSix, which in early 2020 planned to move into the wellness strip of Linden Square alongside the likes of Club Pilates, ended its plans later that year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic’s rise.
But now we see that YogaSix is ready to give Linden Square and Wellesley another go, squeezing in between Club Pilates and Luxotic Nails.
It’s a new team bringing YogaSix to Wellesley. Construction will start any day now, and if all goes well (supply chains…), the studio could be open as soon as late fall.
If you haven’t noticed, Pressed Juicery, which has had a location in Linden Square since 2017, has dropped the “Juicery” from its name. Call them Pressed now, as the newish signs say.
The company actually rebranded about a year ago, but it can take time for signs to catch up.
Not that the business isn’t still pumping out juice. But the name change signals that they sell other plant-based stuff too, including smoothies and freezes.
The company emphasizes in its marketing material all the good it is doing for the world, reducing its use of bad plastic and working plenty of imperfect fruits and vegetables into its mix.
Coffee and light refreshments will be provided by the chamber’s hosts at Linden Square. Please RSVP in advance to help the hosts plan.
We noticed a sign for a realtor called Crest City Capital located where else, but Crest Road. The office is in the former home of, among other things, the Wellesley Townsman.

Spring prices were exceptionally strong, peaking in April, as was overbidding and multiple offers. It is still a strong sellers’ market, however, as interest rates have continued to rise, agents have definitely seen fewer multiple offers, and wild overbidding has come back down to Earth.
Average list price: $1,815,996
