Review of Dudley, Massachusetts


One of the lowest property tax rates in the state.
Star Rating - 8/30/2019
The town of Dudley has a rich history starting at the time of the American Revolution. It was a major farming area with a large number of dairy farms at the turn of the 20th century. Industry has changed in the fact that the linen mills are no longer the major employer. It is now a bedroom community. The schools seem to be OK and it seems there aren't too many issues.

One thing to consider is that Dudley is one of the most affordable towns in Massachusetts in the way of property tax. Property tax can be very high in the Bay State and Dudley is near the bottom end of things.

I will add to this topic regarding Dudley Massachusetts. As a rule, Massachusetts has a reputation of being very anti-gun. If you are a shooter it can be difficult to obtain the necessary license to carry a firearm. Dudley is more progressive on this topic. For the most part if you have a clean record and take an appropriate safely class you will be able to obtain a license to carry. As a contrast many communities in the Greater Boston Area are equivalent to the Communist East German Republic.

Ty for your review. We are considering moving to Dudley. Could you advise where one may find a nice acreage in the area. Also what public transport options are available to travel to Boston, Hartford and NYC? Regards
