Top Spots to Live West of Boston 2024 - Hudson, MA
By Sarah Shemkus
Choosing a “top” place to live is a personal exercise, one with as many possible outcomes as there are home buyers. For this year’s lists we focused on those communities in Greater Boston where prices have increased the most, as compared with prices five years ago. Why focus on sales price? Because we believe it suggests these communities are places where many would-be buyers are competing to live, driving up prices.
But we also know communities are defined by more than price, so we’ve introduced a new component this year, “May We Suggest,” a subjective spotlight of towns and neighborhoods that aren’t at the very top of the price-increase list, but have lots of enduring appeal.
A former mill town, Hudson has seen a retail and restaurant renaissance rekindle its compact downtown; cyclists riding the scenic Assabet River Rail Trail can reward themselves with small-batch ice cream or locally brewed craft beer, among other treats, in the strollable town center. The town has also invested in both a new high school and middle school in the last 20 years.
