    "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

    "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."
