Community Suburban Great Schools Rail Service

Sports fans and families alike will be well-catered to in Walpole. This popular Boston suburb is just minutes away from Boston and Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots. But aside from its convenient location, Walpole has a network of highly-rated schools, well-maintained parks, and a vibrant community that make it one of the most sought-after Massachusetts suburbs.

Walpole’s busy Main Street district is a major plus that you might not find in most Massachusetts towns. There’s a lot of variety to be found, including local barbers, charming boutiques, and buzzing pubs and restaurants like the Raven’s Nest and Farmer in the Dell. Walpole centers around the Town Commons, a quaint green space that acts as a gathering space and the home of the annual Christmas tree lighting.

Public education is a great point of pride for the residents of Walpole. There’s a number of great schools that serve the area, including Walpole High School and Fisher School. If you’re looking for a historic home or distinctive apartment — but without the Boston price tag — you’ll find just what you’re looking for here. But if the city does start calling your name, it’s easily accessible by car or train.
