City - Acton

Acton is an upscale suburb northwest of Boston, a quaint and charming New England hamlet if ever there was one. The town’s numerous large parks offer gorgeous scenery and spacious grounds for residents to get outdoors and play (sledding at NARA Park in the winter can’t be beat). The region is rich with history (particularly in nearby Concord) and museums abound, making it an ideal rental location for folks with scholarly interests.

The MBTA station on the south side of town connects Acton with the rest of the Boston metropolitan area, and downtown Boston is only about 45 minutes away by car. The local schools receive terrific ratings, and the crime rate is among the lowest in Massachusetts, making Acton one of the most family-friendly environments around.

School data provided by 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.
