Lexington:

Seeped in American Revolutionary history, Lexington and Concord are the birthplaces of our nation and its freedoms. These New England quintessential communities abound with historical sites such as the Lexington Common, better known as the Battle Green, where the first shot of the American Revolution was fired, and the Minute Man Statue & Revolutionary Monument stands to pay tribute to all those who fought for our freedoms.

Historic sites abound in Lexington and Concord, but we must also pay tribute to its greatest authors and thinkers: Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Walden Pond’s beloved Henry David Thoreau who transformed our lives with their philosophical and literary brilliance, and who by the way, all happen to be buried on “Authors’ Ridge” in Concord’s Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.

Lexington and Concord are charming and full of rich, historical culture. These communities offer the best of two worlds given their proximity to Cambridge. With less than a 30-minute commute to Cambridge, you will find historic homes intermingled with new, stately homes. Most homes in these communities are large, single-family estates surrounded by idyllic wooded and secluded landscapes. The natural beauty of these areas is hard to beat with such landmarks as Walden Pond and the Minute Man National Park.

Independent establishments dot the Main Streets of these towns such as New England Style Pizza, Maine Street Market & Café, and Rancatore’s Ice Cream & Yogurt for the best indulgence ever! As a “Best of Boston” winner, Wilson’s Farm is a thriving market offering farm-fresh produce, homemade baked goods, prepared foods, fresh meat, and seafood to the local communities.

With Lexington ranked # 5 and Concord ranked # 7 by Boston Magazine’s Best High Schools in Massachusetts, these communities are attracting those seeking a top-notch school district with pristine rural living. Commuters traveling into Cambridge, Boston, or Waltham have easy access to Route 2 and Route 128 making this an attractive location for professionals as well.
