Why Live in Bedford
Bedford is a New England town steeped in history, a charming suburb of Boston bursting with outdoor recreation, top-notch schools and highly desirable properties on large lots. The town has the unique distinction of owning the oldest intact flag in the country, an intricate red, gold and white banner depicting a knight bearing a sword. The original flag – flown in the American Revolution — is preserved within the Bedford Free Public Library, and it remains a potent symbol of the proud town of Bedford, a type of place where people can settle down and plant their flags. “I think Bedford is a hidden gem,” says local Realtor Mimi Henning of Barrett Sotheby's International Realty. “I think it gets sometimes overlooked by other towns surrounding it.
