Randolph, MA brings something rare to the Boston suburbs: a compact, 11-square-mile community just 15 miles south of the city with locally owned shops, restaurants, and housing options spread along Main Street and through its residential neighborhoods.
Renters will find a solid range of housing here, from traditional multi-family homes and classic New England colonial-style apartment communities to newer townhomes and condominium conversions. The architecture stays low-rise and residential, with neighborhoods that feel distinctly suburban -- many featuring private driveways, sidewalks, and spacious lots.
The Holbrook/Randolph commuter rail station puts Boston's South Station about 35 minutes away, making the town a natural base for commuters. Incorporated in 1793 and named after Peyton Randolph, the first president of the Continental Congress, the town carries a historical thread that runs quietly beneath its modern, everyday character.
