A charming New England community to call home
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. But it definitely shouldn’t be overlooked.”
Luxury and privacy in a competitive housing market
Bedford’s residential streetscapes offer a spacious feel, with homes spread out from one another on a canvas dotted with trees and well-kept lawns. Most of the town’s properties stretch for at least a quarter of an acre, providing plenty of privacy and outdoor living space, and the housing market consists primarily of homes built between 1950 and 1980, with architectural designs including Cape Cod, colonial and rambler-style homes. The median home price in Bedford is just over $900,000, with prices ranging from $700,000 for a modest ranch or Cape Cod to more than $2 million for a new home. “The market here is competitive, and some homes can sell in just a weekend,” Henning says.

Bedford’s award-winning schools
Bedford’s schools are one of the neighborhood's biggest draws, and Niche ranks the Bedford Public Schools district in the top 20 among all districts in Massachusetts, with an A+ rating. Students begin their education at Lt. Job Lane Elementary, an A-rated school on Niche with a student-teacher ratio of 11-to-1. Next, students move to John Glenn Middle School — which also earns an A-grade on Niche — and Bedford High School, an A-rated school with an average SAT score of 1330. Graduates of Bedford High regularly attend prestigious local universities like Brown and Boston College.

Year-round outdoor activities
The Bedford community enjoys immediate access to the great outdoors, beginning with the Hartwell Town Forests, a 120-acre conservation area with nearly 3 miles of hiking trails that double as cross-country skiing paths during the winter. Other nearby nature preserves include the Elm Brook Conservation Area — a 19-acre tract of forest land with walking trails and birdwatching stations — and the Wilderness Park Conservation Area, where Fawn Lake serves as a fishing hole in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter. Finally, the Bedford Center Playground is located in the middle of town, making it a perfect spot for playdates and picnics.

Supporting Bedford’s locally owned businesses
Great Road serves as Bedford’s primary commercial thoroughfare, and locals can take care of nearly all of their shopping, dining and retail needs without traveling beyond the borders of their small community. Grocery shopping is available at Stop & Shop and Whole Foods, two national supermarket chains that share parking lots with familiar restaurants like Starbucks and Chipotle. For something different, residents can pick up sushi from Ginger Japanese Cuisine or experience the innovative open grilling oven at Red Heat Tavern. For dessert, locals prefer the waffle cones at Bedford Farms Ice Cream, a seasonal, family-owned ice cream shop that opened in the 1880s, making it the longest continuously running business in Bedford.

Commuting into Boston and beyond
Situated among the wooded suburbs northwest of Boston, Bedford is minutes from Interstate 95 between the Cambridge Turnpike and Northwest Expressway, a 23-mile commute from downtown Boston via Interstates 93 and 95. Bedford is home to Hanscom Field, a full-service general aviation airport serving small private and corporate aircrafts, and the Concord rail station connects Bedford to surrounding communities along the MBTA train system.
