This exclusively residential community features quaint, winding roads graced by some of the most beautiful houses and landscaped gardens in the state. Convenient to the Mass Pike, Wayland, Massachusetts is a popular choice with commuters to Boston or those employed along the high technology corridor all the way to Worcester. The beauty of nature with the conveniences of modern life are within a short drive to your home. Shopping centers meet daily retail needs, although larger malls are close to home. A natural wildlife preserve set along the Sudbury River and Lake Cochituate provide a scenic backdrop for many outdoor activities such as swimming, fishing, canoeing, and sailing. Amenities include golf courses, playing fields, tennis courts, cross-country ski trials, and the National Wildlife Refuge along the Sudbury River.
A strong community spirit, careful zoning and planning, a progressive government, and a commitment to preserving the town's country atmosphere are all responsible for Wayland's high quality of life. Only a 30 minute drive to Boston allows you to experience all that a world class culturally rich city has to offer one day while journeying to the apple orchards of your own town the next.
