Wayland

Wayland is a peaceful community located in the MetroWest area of Massachusetts, situated at the halfway point between Boston and Worcester. While Wayland is located in an area that provides easily accessible shopping, sightseeing, dining and entertainment, the town itself remains a quiet bedroom community in a semi-rural setting with little industrial or commercial base.

Wayland Town Hall Spring

Wayland is the home to many urban professionals due in part to its peaceful setting and its close proximity to the city of Boston. In addition, Wayland is an ideal community to raise a family, as its school system is known as one of the finest in the state.

Wayland takes great pride in its preservation of the forests, marshes and fields that surround the Sudbury River. These natural resources provide residents an opportunity to enjoy these areas for passive recreation.

Weston

The Town of Weston is an attractive suburban town on the perimeter of metropolitan Boston. Incorporated in 1713, the town is located on a rugged upland plateau.

Town of Weston

Taverns of great historic importance were established on the Boston Post Road. The Golden Ball Tavern, built in 1750, and the Josiah Smith Tavern, built in 1757, still exist in the town.

Weston has carefully retained significant amounts of open space and maintains over 60 miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, playgrounds, ball fields, golf courses and cross-country skiing areas.

Wellesley

More than 350 years ago, when a handful of men first settled the area around the Charles River that is now known as Wellesley, they were so delighted with their new town that they named it “Contentment.” Although the name has changed over the centuries, the feeling of pride and satisfaction on the part of the residents toward their home still remains strong.

Town Hall Wellesley

Through the foresight of town fathers in 1914 Wellesley became the first town in America to adopt zoning laws.

The affluence and prosperity of the 20th century have left their mark on Wellesley, which has become a well-regarded suburb featuring a school system recognized as one of the best in the state. Although the town has always had the finest of beautiful land and homes, of schools and colleges, and every advantage of government, there are many who feel that her greatest resource has been her people.
