From farmland to Colonial Revivals in Nobscot
Until the 1950s, much of Nobscot’s land was forest and farmland. There are a few remaining homesteads from the 1700s and 1800s, but most available real estate was constructed prior to 1950. Along the curvilinear residential streets, ranch-style, split-level and raised ranch-style homes are prevalent. Prices for these generally fall between $600,000 and $800,000. There are also several Colonial Revivals from the late 1900s, which often sell anywhere from $700,000 to over $1 million. Buyers may also find grand, early 1900s Tudor Revivals and newly built traditional-style homes — these run between $1 million and $1.6 million. Corton says that an “agrihood” is also under development — Baiting Brook Farm, a 55+ community situated in the middle of a working farm.Enjoying nature at Nobscot Park
Nobscot Park is well suited for an afternoon picnic or a walk through the woods. “We have a variety of wildlife here. It’s really special,” says Christine Long, the District 1 city councilor of Framingham and Nobscot resident, who notes that it’s not uncommon to see a few woodpeckers and other woodland creatures in the parks. Another popular outdoor space, Garden in the Woods, is a 45-acre botanical garden where visitors can stroll paths lined with native New England plants. Just west of Nobscot is Callahan State Park, which offers 7 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding.Celebrating individual learning strengths in Framingham Public Schools
The local school system, Framingham Public Schools, earns an overall B rating from Niche and offers school choice. Parents can tour all the elementary schools and lottery into any that are not within a 1-mile radius of their home. There are bilingual Spanish elementary schools and bilingual Portuguese elementary schools as well. Hemenway Elementary School, which earns a B-plus, is a Multiple Intelligences School. Teachers at Hemenway structure their lessons to meet multiple learning needs and strengths. At B-rated Walsh Middle School, students can participate in the robotics club, which recently went to nationals. Framingham High School, rated A-minus on Niche, offers a variety of extracurricular options, including astronomy and American Sign Language clubs.Art classes and more at the McAuliffe Branch Library
Though downtown Framingham is just a few miles from Nobscot, the McAuliffe Branch Library has a full calendar of events to keep Nobscot residents busy. On weekday mornings, there are programs for preschool-aged children. In the evenings, art classes and Dungeons & Dragons meetups keep adults and teens occupied. During the summer months, there is a free concert series in the Framingham Centre Common. Corton says that Hanson’s Farm offers haunted hayrides around Halloween.Travel into Boston from the park-and-ride Framingham commuter rail station
Nearby highways include U.S. Route 20 to the north and Interstate 90 to the south. Both roads lead directly into Boston, which lies about 25 miles east. Approximately 4 miles south of Nobscot is a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station with a large parking lot.Fresh ice cream at Eastleigh Farm
Current restaurant offerings include Honey Dew Donuts, an unofficial gathering spot in the village, and Gianni’s Pizza & Subs, which serves traditional Italian-style pizzas. For fresh produce, Hanson’s Farm sells veggies at their farm stand, or residents can invest in a CSA membership. A few miles west of Nobscot is Eastleigh Farm, which offers fresh ice cream and vintage décor. There are also plenty of shopping options nearby, including Stop & Shop, Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s, all of which are within a 2-mile radius of Nobscot. A new mixed-used plaza, which is anticipated to be completed in September 2024, will house apartments and retail space. It is being built beside the McAuliffe Library.
