Few towns in Greater Boston pack this much into 25 square miles: more than 5,000 acres of public open space, a glacial lake at the town's geographic center, and a commuter rail station with direct service to both Boston and Providence. Daily life in Sharon revolves around Lake Massapoag, a walkable Main Street corridor, and the sweeping trails of Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary and Borderland State Park. Neighborhood pockets spread across town, with the downtown area offering a concentrated strip of dining and local shops reachable on foot or by a quick drive.
Modern apartment communities with a range of floor plans and updated finishes sit alongside more classic ones. For rental homes, architectural styles run from 18th-century Cape Cods to recent construction. Sharon sits in Norfolk County about 26 miles southwest of downtown Boston. Ward's Berry Farm has long been a community gathering point for seasonal pick-your-own harvests and hayrides.
