A city "just outside Boston" on the Orange Line filled with little more than pizza places, hair and nail salons. Though there is practically nothing in Malden, EVERYTHING is no further than 20 minutes away, including the beach, Downtown Boston, and the woods.
It is also one of the most culturally diverse places in the Boston area.

Medford + diversity - trees = Malden
Person 1: Where are you from?

Words you can keep
A place "right outside of Boston". AKA the dirty den, which gets its name from the people residing there - Filled with mostly stoners, wanna be hipsters, wanna be jocks, wangsters (that get suspended from MHS for drugs, violence, ect.), your typical basic bitch(wearing the basic bitch uniform = uggs jeans north face jacket and bone straight hair). Populated with every race on the planet and the typical working class family. There is nothing exciting to do in Malden, so don't go there if you are looking for a good time, but being right outside the city you have plenty of options.
wangster: The " maple wood gang "

Wangster 1: Kehd lets go get shit faced in front of malden high
Wangster 2: yeah doood I already got expelled, I'm D
Malden by maldentrash October 13, 2011
A city right outside of Boston (8 miles away). A city with mostly lower middle class and working working class people. Malden does have residents who reside in certain parts of the city who have more money. Malden has a lot of Haitians , Chinese, North and East African , some Brazilians and growing Spanish community . Also has whites that have been living there for decades. Malden is a nice city but it’s hood also. Gangs , violence , drugs ect. Whatever happens in the ghetto it happens in Malden too just not to the degree of a big city. Long as you mind your business you’ll be fine. Other cities hate on Malden it call Malden soft. It’s a misguided statement because they people they beef with may not be about it. But Malden got niggas down to do life or the right cause . Good people but just like any other city the money make niggas do anything. Also referred to as the Dirty Den or the Den.
Malden like lil Haiti . Mad Haitians bro

malden high school

MHS is an urban high school about ten minutes north of boston(by revere, everett, medford). You can find every type of person at mhs...black white latin asian native american middle eastern, you name it..people from every country on the planet at the school. There is a lot of trouble there caused people who are in/ think they are in gangs(drugs, fights, etc); the school does not have a good rep for being so "ghetto" and is a place most want to avoid; people only go because they have to. However, there is also a decent number of students who succeed, and for the most part, the different types of students get along and value their diversity and have a desire to succeed.

Malden was named best place to raise a family in Mass in 2008.
