The picturesque town of Acton is considered to be one of the best towns in Massachusetts to raise a family. This small town populated by over 22,000 is bordered by Boxborough to the west, Concord and Carlisle to the east, Littleton and Westford to the North, then Stow and Maynards to the south. Being almost at the center of some popular towns and being a mere twenty one miles northwest of Boston makes this ideal for residents who don't want to be cut-off from the rest of suburban Massachusetts.
The town has a rich history dating back to the 1600s when most of New England was being cut-up into various counties by the first English settlers. A lot of the town has lost that Victorian / Greek inspired aesthetics that inspired architects. The Town Hall stands as an example of this old early settler architecture along with the 120-year-old house that now serves as The Discovery Museum for children.
Acton has all the amenities that a family would enjoy. These include children's playgrounds, parks with brooks, and great tree-covered trails. Forests and meadows can be found from the north to the south side of the town. The shopaholic will not be disappointed as there are retail malls and coffee haunts for discerning coffee drinkers. The Acton-Boxborough Regional School District is a well-regarded public school district serving the families of Acton and the surrounding towns.
This small town has one of the greatest quality of life offered by any town in Massachusetts which is why it continues to be voted the best place to live and raise a family.
