Ideal Wellesley, Massachusetts

What’s a Winnetka with hills? A Palo Alto with snow? A Greenwich with a 20 minute commute? It’s Wellesley Massachusetts!

Location. Location. Location. Ideally located 12 miles west of Boston with primary access via the Mass Turnpike and alternately to the country’s premier medical area via Route 9, Wellesley also has train service from three stations for easy commuting, and a short drive to the MBTA.

The residential neighborhoods of Wellesley weave a wonderful fabric for community living. The rich variety of architecture – Colonial, Tudor, Victorian, or Townhouse – with zoning allowing for 10,000 – 40,000 square foot lots, makes Wellesley a superb choice for a first home, for the years of a growing family, and as a empty-nester setting.

A quaint square with fine shops, boutiques, branches of national chains, augmented by coffee shops, lunch places and fine restaurants (high-lighted by Ming Tsai’s Blue Ginger (right across from our office) draws attention from the entire area.

Known as the location of three colleges (including the renown Wellesley College), six K-5 neighborhood schools; one middle school and one high school, graduating 400 students yearly. Because Wellesley enjoys a stellar reputation, the school-age population continues to grow. There are a variety of pre-schools, day care facilities, and private elementary and high schools in and around Wellesley. The town has houses of worship, parks, lakes, public and private golf clubs and swimming facilities.

To live in Wellesley is to feel at home.
