Acton, Massachusetts, located 25 miles northwest of Boston has retained much of its rural New England character as it has developed into one of the region’s most desirable towns to live in. With its rich historical connections as its roots, Acton has grown into a town that provides something for everyone - historical buildings, stone walled, tree lined country roads, plus local and regional school systems that are ranked among the top in the state. As a community, Acton offers a full range of services including an energetic town government, a nationally recognized police department, top-of-the-line libraries, and a dedicated fire department.
Hiking throughout the conservation lands of Acton, which incorporate over 1,650 acres of protected terrain, is among the favorite activities of both locals and tourists. Other favorites include shows at the community theaters, the Science and Discovery Museum as well as Nara Park, a beach and day camp area used for fishing, field athletics, and its playground areas.
Acton provides a comprehensive range of properties including condominiums, 55+ communities, single- and multi-family homes, antique properties, and new construction. All of which are in easy reach of the area’s main transportation links (Routes 2, 495, 128 and commuter rail) – making Acton an ideal place for anyone to call home.
