    "most dog owners are friendly and they talk about their dogs. I also see groups of people each with their dogs."
  • Trulia User
    "It went from a farmer's / blue collar town in the 80s to a wannabe Concord / yuppie town. sonce there are so many garden-style apartments it will always be a mix of upper middle-class and regular-income people. Excellent schools and well maintained, but the yuppies can be an annoying presence."
  • Gustavo A.
    "I lived here for 10 years and I really like the school systems and how we can disconnect from the city and have some peace. "
  • Mary
    "This town is great! Lots of sidewalks, a few parks, access to the commuter rail to get in and out of Boston. Close to historical locations that are good places for a day off, tons of space to walk around, and good educations!"
  • Valerie F.

  • Dagreeny1

  • Valerie F.
    "Expensive but I love the town. it has everything to offer. very safe and amazing school system. Clean, roads are well maintained and there's Trader Joe's in town, Starbucks and a handful of grocery stores including Talbots, Loft and Staples. lts great for biking and has a rail trail. "
  • Victor G.
    "There are many families here and great schools. It may be a little quiet and boring as kids approach teenage years."
  • Ash D. G.
    "It’s very dog friendly with trails and parks and many dog owners around. Many stores have water bowls outside of them."
  • Am4585b
    "It is a great town, but it is very quiet and requires a car. Some growth in places to go. the kind of town where the cows outnumber the people."
  • Am4585b
    "great access to route 2. commuting south to the mass pike and east to boston works great. beyond that is a long commute."
  • Christopher J.
    "This is Acton. If you have children, it is one of the best towns you could possibly live in. For a middle to upper middle class family, the suburban American Dream is found in Acton. "
  • Andy a. a.
    "i enjoy living in Acton because it is quiet and friendly and close to shops and restaurants....good school system too. "
  • Ashutosh M.
    "Awesome community to live in. Living here since 4 years now. Housing prices are up almost 40% since then. "
  • jimod2000
    "We raised our three kids here in Indian Village, a neighborhood in Acton. Nice place to live and a safe place to raise a family. We have great schools; check out the reports in major publication. It is a sports town with a full sports program throughout the school system."
  • Jack B.
    "Conveniently located between 128 and 495, with super-easy public transportation that brings you right to both Cambridge and Boston, Acton is ideal for couples and families. It's an upscale community with recreational opportunities galore, as well as fine restaurants and shopping at not one but three shopping malls within a 25-minute drive. Money Magazine rated Acton #16 among the best small towns nationally. Housing prices are only a little more than the median for the metro Boston area, but considering the ample space, easy commute, and low crime, Acton is still a bargain by Massachusetts standards."
