Set directly between Worcester and Boston, Ashland is a serene Massachusetts suburb that’s big on community. With a Main St. full of locally owned businesses and cafes, Ashland is plenty entertaining.
There are large, traditional homes and low-lying apartment complexes that cater to every renter, and Ashland State Park makes for a prime picnic spot or just somewhere to unwind. Every third Saturday in September the town celebrates Ashland Day. Stone Park becomes a small carnival full of rides and food vendors, and the day ends with fireworks. There’s also a weekly farmers market to enjoy.
Ashland is great for commuters since it’s right in the middle of Boston and Worcester. But if you don’t have a car, there’s also rail service to Ashland from Boston’s South Station.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
