Rambling brooks and suburban community

Unwinding in quiet, sidewalk-lined suburban streets, East Bridgewater is an established residential area 25 miles from Boston with a strong sense of community pride. Local businesses and chains along Bedford Street provide residents with centralized access to essentials not far from East Bridgewater's beloved public schools. Brooks run through town and pool in ponds across the area, immersing East Bridgewater in conservation areas and public green spaces to explore. A buzzing residential town appealing to families and working professionals alike, East Bridgewater closes gaps between suburban sprawl, small town amenities and preserved waterways.

Mixed housing styles along residential sidewalks

Housing styles in East Bridgewater vary from Cape Cods, open-concept colonials, ranch-style homes, townhouses and remodeled duplexes. Many single-family homes range from $379,000 to $850,000, with higher price points covering 3,000 square feet and higher and lower prices averaging about 1,200 square feet. Streets are smooth with minimal bike lanes, but asphalt sidewalks are modestly sized for pedestrians.

School pride at East Bridgewater schools

East Bridgewater Public Schools serves the area, and some close schools of note include Central Elementary, rated a B by Niche; Gordon W. Mitchell Middle rated an A, and East Bridgewater Junior-Senior High School, rated a C+. The high school is hailed through the community for its sports. Milton Morris, a Bridgewater local real estate broker says, “The town has lots of school pride, you’ll see signs in every house, and everyone comes out to the games on Friday nights.” The Capachione School of Performing Arts has offered extensive theatre education to East Bridgewater students since 1986. There are also two studios in town for dancers of all ages to perform.

Brooks, ponds and East Bridgewater Community Gardens

For recreation, visit East Bridgewater’s Robbins Pond; the 124-acre warm-water pond is often used to fish for largemouth bass or canoe on its sun-swept surface. Satucket River Frontage is a riverside park with tree-lined walking trails and is also popular for dog walking and skipping rocks by the riverbank. The waterways have given the area its namesake; the small tributary of Matfield River weaves in and around town, and its many pooling points have become conservation lands protected by the local government. Matfield River Frontage and Church Street Conservation Area are examples of the natural upkeep maintained by the township. The town's pride is East Bridgewater Community Gardens, run by the neighborhood; they have grown thousands of pounds of organic produce to be donated to local food pantries. It is an environmentally friendly means of community engagement.

Shopping plazas along Bedford Street

Locals shopping for essentials head to Campus Plaza on Bedford Street, a plaza containing Roche Bros Bridgewater, the closest chain supermarket. This plaza also contains a Burlington and several chain restaurants. Tatami Restaurant serves fresh sushi and sake for lunch and dinner, and right across the street, head to Marylou’s for coffee and pastries in their pink-patterned dining area. Carriage Crossing Shopping Center is within the neighborhood and features an Anytime Fitness gym and East Bridgewater Cinemas to catch a flick.

Local foot traffic and Route 18 commutes

East Bridgewater has the benefit of being pedestrian-friendly. “It’s a very walkable town, not a very urban area, and not too commercial either, so foot traffic tends to move through town smoothly,” Morris says. Cars are the other main form of transportation, as no bus lines operate within the town border. The busiest road would be Massachusetts Route 18, which runs north through East Bridgewater and into Boston after 25 miles. For small-town sentiments, access, and affordability, cross over to East Bridgewater.
