With its narrow lanes, brick-paved walkways, and historic architecture, Winchester still reflects its colonial roots. Settled in 1640, Winchester's historic district is a step back in time -- only today the brick buildings are filled with elegant boutiques, antique shops, sidewalk cafes, restaurants, and other businesses. Located just eight miles northwest of Downtown Boston, Winchester is a popular location for commuters -- a ride on the "T" only takes about 20 minutes from Winchester Center.
Winchester borders the Middlesex Falls Reservation, a 2,575-acre park that is home to Stone Zoo, Spot Pond, hiking trails, picnic areas, and an off-leash dog park. The park is also a great location for cross-country skiing, fishing, mountain biking, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and horseback riding. On the north end of town, Horn Pond Recreation Area is also great for hiking and bicycling. Upper Mystic Lake features the Mystic River Path, two beach areas: Little Pond Beach and Shannon Beach, and several boat clubs.
Winchester is a very popular town for those with children, mainly because the school district is top-rated. Winchester High School, founded in 1850, is considered one of the best public high schools in Massachusetts. Nearby universities include Tufts University, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

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.
