    "I’m finding it’s a wonderful little community, here. People look you in the eyes here, are patient and listen and are welcoming. It’s the kind of place where if you’re carrying groceries to your door, but start to your drop bags, someone will offer to help carry them inside for you... and then leave afterwards without hurting you.

    "Ashland is only 25 west of Boston, very easy to get there by car or commuter rail. You also get the feel of a small town that is very easy to get around, plus the schools are rated in the top 50 in Massachusetts. The Ashland Reservior is a gem - swimming, sailing, fishing, and a very nice public beach. Very safe town that is investing in itself even more in the coming years with the Pond Street Project."
