Nobscot offers natural beauty and home variety
Nobscot, a village within the city of Framingham, is a residential community where options abound. “It has an interesting medley of starter homes, farms and mansions,” says Alison Corton, Realtor with ERA Key Realty Services and 20-year Framingham resident. “It’s one of Framingham’s most expensive and most beautiful neighborhoods. There are winding country roads and lots of trees.” With access to parks and farm-fresh produce, the area has a rural feel despite being only 25 miles from Boston. Families can choose from schools within a 1-mile radius or lottery to attend some of the city’s bilingual elementaries.

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.
