Located six miles north of downtown Boston, Stoneham is a thriving town that balances suburban tranquility with easy access to the big city. Lush greenery defines the area’s environment, with Middlesex Fells Reservation occupying most of the south end and heavily wooded neighborhoods occupying much of the town’s landscape.

The reservation serves as a terrific venue for spending quality time outdoors, with its vast network of trails within walking distance for many. The Downtown district is fairly small, but features a vibrant collective of unique businesses occupying beautiful historic buildings, ranging from coffeehouses and international bistros to performance venues and specialty shops.
