    "Simple but if construction there is really only one main road so it can get backed up. A 13 minute commute can be up to 30 minutes at times"

    "No sense of community. But lots of privacy and everyone is friendly. I grew up here and lived here for 21 years. There’s something about this town being surrounded by people and still feeling alone, but maybe it’s just me. "

    "Having lived in Wayland for the last 8 years with my family, all I can say is that I am blessed. Excellent community with friendly families. Fantastic schools that kids want to go to before the doors open. There is barely any crime and most streets are dead quiet at night. The closest public transportation to Boston is in Natick or Lincoln - both are commuter rail lines. Otherwise it is drive anywhere. There are sidewalks in my area but in some parts of town there is really no need as you are so far from anyone it would just not make sense. Taxes are a bit high as well. Wayland is perfect for families, not so much for singles or the elderly. "
