City - Lexington

Standing on the very ground where the first shots of the American Revolution rang out in 1775, Lexington carries a kind of weight that no other Boston suburb can claim. Roughly 10 miles northwest of downtown, this town moves at a quieter pace, with tree-lined streets, dozens of public parks, and the Minuteman Bikeway threading through the landscape toward Cambridge and Bedford. The historic town center offers independent shops and local dining, and the green at Battle Green remains a genuine gathering point rather than just a photo stop.

Renters here tend to find well-maintained apartment communities, spacious townhomes, and converted residences that reflect the area's classic New England character. High-rises aren't the norm; instead, expect thoughtfully designed communities nestled among mature trees and residential streets.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
