Reply to comment by C-O-L-A_COLA in What sparse suburban towns in MA are worth buying a home in? by [deleted]

I’ve been very interested in that area, but driving randomly through Grafton and Upton it seemed the towns were dead (no one walking around, no bustling shops or small mom and pop stops) so it didn’t give a great first impression. Is it worth a deeper review?

/u/C-O-L-A_COLA is mentioning a totally different part of the state. Groton is well north of where your families reside.

Of the towns you mention, Grafton to me is nice but you're right, kinda not much going on. However, it does have proximity to other locales which are more busy.

If you're considering that general area where Grafton is, my top suggestions would be Holliston, Medway, Franklin.

I definitely read Groton wrong as I’ve never heard of Groton, ha. Thanks for the Grafton area suggestions, I haven’t checked those out.

Yeah, while they're not "hilly", they nonetheless have very nice landscapes. The rail trail in Holliston is very nice for recreation.
