Former “Jewelry Capital of the World,” now a growing suburb city
Attleboro was known as the “Jewelry Capital of the World” in the early 20th century, a nickname the northwest Bristol County city earned largely thanks to jewelry giants Jostens and Balfour. The two companies were major regional employers until they moved operations away from the area in the ‘90s and 2000s. Metalor, the world’s largest gold refiner, and E.A. Dion Incorporated, an heirloom jewelry maker, keep the city’s industry tied to jewelry, but today’s Attleboro is more than its big employers. Its revitalizing historic downtown, quiet suburban neighborhoods and highly rated school system appeal to homebuyers looking to escape the flurry of Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, metropolises flanking Attleboro. Jack Lank, president and CEO of The United Regional Chamber of Commerce, which serves the cities of Attleboro, North Attleboro and Franklin, says Attleboro’s home prices, low compared to Boston, are central to the smaller city’s allure.

Competitive home prices compared to Boston
“Home prices are pretty reasonable in Attleboro,” Lank says. The median single-family home price here is $482,500, below the Massachusetts median of $628,888 and the Boston median of $889,500. Condo prices in Attleboro are also lower, at $334,750 compared to $520,000 and $676,000, respectively. While ranch and raised ranch-style homes built in the mid-20th century are common, the most prominent housing styles are Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals. Federal, Colonial and Victorian homes built in the late 1700s and early 1800s are among the most expensive in the city, running anywhere from $725,000 to more than $1.2 million. Sellers in Attleboro typically receive more than their asking price, and homes tend to stay on the market for an average of 28 days, about a week less than the state average.

A growing downtown business and dining scene
Attleboro’s historic downtown is at the heart of the city’s burgeoning shopping, dining and entertainment scenes. Between 2019 and 2024, the storefront occupancy rate climbed from less than 65% to more than 80%. The turn-of-the-20th-century brick buildings are filling up with offices, small family-owned businesses and restaurants serving fare from Hawaiian-inspired poke bowls to classic Mexican. At the north end of Main Street, the Colonel Blackinton Inn restaurant is popular for its upscale New England-inspired menu and summertime live music on the garden terrace. The 1850s-era Greek Revival hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of Lank’s favorite local restaurants is a few blocks away: Burgundian, which began as a food truck. Its brick-and-mortar café serves all-day Liège waffles, a type of Belgian street waffle. The Attleboro Area Industrial Museum and the Attleboro Art Museum are also in downtown, not far from the Attleboro Community Theatre. National chains are available in surrounding shopping centers, including the Emerald Square Mall in nearby North Attleboro.

Wilderness reserves, the historic Capron Park Zoo and annual events
The Attleboro Parks & Forestry Department maintains the city’s public parks, including playgrounds, sports fields, and rustic recreation areas such as Manchester Reservoir and the Andrew Lawrence Wildlife Preserve. Both the reservoir and preserve offer loop-trail hiking. And fishing is permitted in Manchester Pond, swimming with large and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel and bullhead catfish. Rehoboth State Forest, about 7 miles southeast of town, also offers rustic outdoor recreation, with a 1-mile hiking loop and seasonal hunting for deer, bear and turkey. Visitors are encouraged to wear blaze orange during hunting season.
At the heart of Attleboro, the Capron Park Zoo is home to about 100 animals representing 44 different species. The nearly 100-year-old public park hosts events from food truck festivals to concert series in the summer. And Attleboro’s annual Holiday Happening Parade & Family Fun Day takes place in early December just west of the park. In November, the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette celebrates Christmas with the annual Festival of Lights. The Roman Catholic church’s grounds are aglow with 300,000 lights during the event; Lank says they draw crowds of more than 100,000 people each year. La Salette also hosts the Attleboro Farmers Market on Saturdays between June and October. “It’s such a great market,” Lank says. “You can catch up with friends and shop for fresh produce, honey and locally made jewelry.”

Attleboro Station runs commuter trains to Providence and Boston
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s Attleboro Station offers “Mass by Train” commuter rail service from the middle of Attleboro to Boston and Providence. Lank says commuting into either bigger city is easy on the train – there’s no traffic on the rails. By car, the nearly 40-mile drive northeast to Boston can take about an hour with no traffic on Interstate 95. The highway runs through Attleboro, connecting southwest to Rhode Island, too. Providence is slightly more than 13 miles away, a drive that takes less than 30 minutes if there’s no traffic on I-95. Greater Attleboro & Taunton Regional Transit Authority, or GARTA, bus service connects Taunton with the three Attleboros, North, South and central.
