Located an hour west of Boston, Maynard is a small close-knit suburb. Maynard appreciates the arts and has a lively creative scene. Listen to live bands at Morey's Tavern or the Pleasant Café. Applaud an award-winning theater company at the Acme Theater which hosts multiple shows a year. This quaint town also gathers together for two major festivals: Maynard Fest and Octoberfest. Both events feature all the classic fall festival fun from live music to delicious food and drinks.
The area is densely populated and surrounded by lush, relaxing wooded areas. Since Maynard is encompassed in natural beauty, outdoor activities are very popular. Borrow a bicycle through the town’s bike share program and ride along the Assabet River Rail Trail. Assabet also offers great scenic spots and ponds for fishing. Go to the famed Walden Pond State Reservation, the site where Henry David Thoreau wrote “Walden.” If you’re looking for a rental property that is engulfed in nature combined with a relaxing, slow-paced lifestyle, Maynard is a place you may want to call home.
