About Framingham, Massachusetts
Midway between Boston and Worcester, Framingham provides excellent access to public transportation in both directions via commuter rail train service and bus. Framingham has experienced rapid growth in recent years, shifting from a small country town to one of the most well developed cities in the area. A dramatic explosion of retail activity, entertainment venues, and fine restaurants has occurred along both sides of Route 9. In the midst of all this progressive development, the Framingham Center section still preserves the charming New England community that has made this town so popular with new residents.
Quiet neighborhoods offer a large variety of architectural styles and price ranges, including older colonial homes and clusters of handsome multi-family condominiums. Framingham manages to blend modern city services with the best of suburban living. Recreational facilities include tennis courts, sports clubs and leagues, playgrounds, and ballfields, lakes and nature retreats available to the general public.
