    "There are both off leash parks and designated area parks. I do not own a dog so I cannot speak too much. Also there are coyotes and wild turkeys which may be dangerous to small dogs."

    "People have a high level of education, while being down to earth and are very family oriented. We love the proximity to the Mass Pike which makes it easy to get to Boston or anywhere to the West also. Neighbors are friendly and involved in the school system and the town politics."

    "It’s a suburban hamlet in close proximity to the thriving beat of Boston. Close to Fenway Park, close to the Celtics and Bruins, Patriots to the south and easy access to highways north and west, this is the epicenter of where it all happens!"
