A vibrant community set amongst incredible New England cities

Rural Scenic Close-Knit Community Small Business

Nestled between Worcester and Boston and just north of Marlborough, Bolton is a picturesque New England community full of charming homes and incredible landscapes. You won’t find a sprawling shopping center here. Instead, the Massachusetts countryside is all around you. Nature trails provide hiking opportunities while colorful homes overlook farmland and conservation areas. Despite its rural appearance, there are plenty of apartment communities and rentals in Bolton. Cafes, restaurants, and even wineries are located along or near Main Street.

Residents praise Bolton for its close-knit community and friendly neighbors. Outside of the peace and quiet, Marlborough is just a 13-minute drive south, Worcester 25 minutes, and Boston is a little less than an hour to the east thanks to Interstate 495.
