Uxbridge, MA

Real estate in Uxbridge, MA is a hot commodity. With a population of just over 10,000 people, the town is located just outside of Boston and has easy access to major highways and public transportation. The median home price in Uxbridge was $1.2 million as of September 2017, which is significantly higher than the statewide median home price of $269,500.

The main reason for this high demand is likely the close proximity to both Boston and Cambridge. Both cities are well-known hubs for education and business, and their residents are often looking for options outside of the city center. Additionally, Uxbridge has a number of amenities that make it desirable: a strong school system with plenty of private schools available; excellent recreational opportunities including golf courses and parks; and an abundance of shopping options, including boutiques and luxury retailers.

Despite these factors, there are some potential drawbacks to living in Uxbridge. The town is relatively small (there are only about six neighborhoods), so there can be limited opportunities for socializing or networking with others who work or live in similar areas. Additionally, while the commute into Boston isn't particularly bad (it takes around 30 minutes on average), it can be more difficult to get around if you don't have a car or if you're using public transportation.
