The Town
Natick is a suburb of Boston, approximately 22 miles west. The public schools here are known for their high quality. The town itself is very family-oriented. I love going out in Natick because I often run into people I knew from PTO when my kids were young, or people I've known through the years from town events and activities.
We have an Audubon wildlife sanctuary, a State Park very close by, are an hour from the ocean, an hour from New Hampshire and skiing, and a half hour from the city. There are many colleges and universities in the area, which makes for a very rich cultural area. Shopping is very easy as there are all of the huge chains in town. Restaurants are plentiful. Traffic is a bit of a hassle, and driving on the highways in Massachusetts can be harrowing at times! The four seasons are glorious; each one beautiful in its own way. New Englanders are very proud to be from New England :).
