Just like Mayberry
Medfield is a quaint Boston suburb with grassy, enclosed streetscapes, a small downtown and a large-scale center for pickleball. Cape Cods and colonial revival-style houses sit on small lots here, behind sidewalks and with basketball hoops in their driveways. People send their kids to highly rated public schools and on the weekends, they convene at the Kingsbury Club to play pickleball with others from all over Massachusetts. It’s like the town of Mayberry from the Andy Griffith Show, says Kandi Pitrus, sales associate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate and a Medfield resident for nearly 30 years. “It’s the town that when your kid gets in a car accident, the parent hears about it right away. If someone is sick or gets hurt in any way, the whole town helps that family out,” she said. “That’s the great part about Medfield. If my neighbor were to get pregnant and have a baby, she would have meals dropped off at her house for the next month. That’s just how it is. Everyone pitches in and helps everyone out.”

Family-owned Italian eateries and more
Medfield has a small commercial district where small businesses operate out of brick and stone structures. The library sits downtown, with its brick exterior and Greek columns, and restaurants like the Avenue do business in colonial residences. When Starbucks came to town, Pitrus says, it was a big deal because Medfield has so few chain restaurants downtown. Instead, people get smoothies from Juice on Main and pies from Medfield House of Pizza. People start their days at the Village Griddle, which serves eggs and coffee in a retail shopping plaza. Basil Restaurant is an Italian eatery owned by the same family since the late 1990s, and the town green hosts concerts at its gazebo on summer nights. “A lot of people bring a picnic,” Pitrus says. People shop for groceries at Shaw’s supermarket.

Hiking and pickleball
The Kingsbury Club is the primary recreational facility for the town. It features indoor basketball courts, swimming pools, tennis courts and fitness studios. But the big draw here is pickleball. The facility has 12 fenced-in pickleball-only indoor courts. “People drive all the way out here to play pickleball,” says Pitrus. Outdoor recreation also abounds in Medfield. Locals hike on the forested trails at Rocky Woods Reservation near beaver and turtle habitats, and from the top of the Noon Hill Reservation, walkers can see the Boston skyline, says Pitrus.
