Randolph is a fairly large town, just inland from Quincy and Weymouth on Interstate 93. The drive to Boston is only about 25 minutes and MBTA rail service is available as well, making it a highly convenient location for commuters or folks who just enjoy the occasional jaunt into the city.
The community itself is mainly residential, with clusters of locally-owned shops and restaurants on the north and south ends of Main Street. Goldstein Open Space and Bertha Soule Memorial Park near the center of town provide terrific grounds for getting outdoors and enjoying some fresh air, and the huge nature preserves near the coast are easily within day trip distance.
