Жизнь в Шерборне: обзор рынка недвижимости, транспорта и лучших школ пригорода Бостона

So You Want to Live in Sherborn, Mass.? Pastoral and peaceful, this MetroWest enclave oozes small-town charm—only a 10-minute drive from the commuter rail. 1. Pick Your Price Point Like most places around here, the housing market in Sherborn is competitive: While you’ll find a few two-bedroom properties—and plots of land—for $885,000 and under, the stately Colonial homes that define Sherborn’s semirural community (not to mention new builds in communities such as Meadow’s Edge at Whitney Farm) start at $1 million on the low end and up to $3 million on the high end. 2. Plot Your Commute Less than 30 miles southwest of Boston, the drive from Sherborn takes 40 minutes when traffic is light, and an hour or more when everyone’s on the road. Commuters can also hop on the commuter rail at Natick Center, just a 10-minute drive from town. Bonus points for the nearby Framingham Logan Express bus, which offers trips to and from the airport. 3. Take in the Vibe The town’s food scene is small but mighty. Fireside Tavern Sherborn was opened two years ago by farmer turned restaurant owner Laura Robbins; for more-casual bites, C & L Frosty—a food-and-ice-cream joint—is just down the street. Among the local gems is the 125-acre Farm Pond, a popular spot in the warmer months for swimming, boating, and fishing, and there are plenty of walking and hiking trails in the area. 4. Check out the Culture With a population of just under 4,500, Sherborn is proud of its humble beginnings as a farming community, and there’s still a thriving equestrian scene and plenty of operating farms. The Sherborn Historical Society is the town’s cultural institution—among its collection is a cup and saucer used by George Washington. The Sherborn Library, meanwhile, hosts a rotating gallery and annual arts and crafts fair. 5. Scope out the Schools Combined with neighboring Dover, Sherborn’s public school system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school, which is ranked by this magazine as the best high school in Greater Boston. There are several private options in nearby towns, such as Sparhawk Academy—a boys’ day school in Millis—and the Dana Hall School for girls in Wellesley, about 15 minutes away.
