Weston, MA

Location, Location, Location!

Long recognized as one of Massachusetts most affluent towns, Weston is desired both for its regal country estates and exemplary school system. A quick look at a map surprisingly reveals that this picturesque town is a mere 17 miles west of Boston and is easily accessible to commuter Routes 20, 128, and the Mass Pike I-90.

For those who would rather relax and read during their commute, the MBTA provides bus service into four Boston locations and the commuter rail makes it easy to get into the city with a stop at bustling North Station.
