Many different backgrounds, One Randolph
Culture and convenience are the two main attributes of Randolph, a Metro South town 15 miles from Boston. “It is one of the friendliest and certainly one of the most well-located towns in the Boston area,” says Todd Sandler, a lifelong local and the owner of Todd Sandler Realtors. According to the 2020 census, nearly 36% of Randolph’s 35,000 residents were born outside of the United States. “Our location is the best, and our diversity is our strength,” Sandler says. From authentic Vietnamese Pho restaurants off Main Street to waterfront activities on the Ponkapoag Pond, the town offers plenty to explore. With quick access to the commuter rail and major highways, residents can be close to Beantown without sacrificing the suburban lifestyle.

Pho, La Scala and big-box shopping
Randolph has a mix of authentic, independently owned restaurants and international chains. There are plenty of Vietnamese spots to grab Pho, classic South Shore pizza joints and neighborhood cafes. Italian is a major flavor here, as Sandler says, “La Scala Ristorante has been a Randolph staple for over 55 years and is one of the most popular restaurants in the Boston area.” Shoppers can head to Shaw’s and America’s Food Basket, right in town, and South Shore Plaza, about 4 miles north, covers retail needs.

Home values in Randolph have risen significantly in previous years, as the town continues to gain popularity. Despite the increase, Randolph remains relatively affordable. The median price is about $550,000, nearly 40% lower than in Boston. Buyers can choose from townhouses, condos and single-family colonials, Capes and ranch-style homes.

A 35-minute commuter rail ride into South Station
Randolph locals can choose from many transportation options in and out of town. “Randolph is known as the Hub of the South Shore, bordered by Route 24, Interstate 93 and intersected by state routes 28 and 139,” Sandler says. “We have excellent and convenient access to public transportation.” The town has both Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and Brockton Area Transit bus services, as well as a commuter rail line out of the Holbrook/Randolph station. Interstate 93 runs along the northern border, providing a convenient 15-mile route into the city and the Boston Logan International Airport.
Skiing, swimming and camping in the Blue Hills
On the northwest side of town, the Blue Hills Reservation is the largest hub for recreation. The park features miles of multiuse trails, a 36-hole golf course, a ski area and the Ponkapoag Pond, a popular spot for fishing, swimming and camping. Powers Farm has a pond for kayaking and wooden walking paths. During the warmer months, the farm hosts the Main Street Marketplace, where regional vendors sell their goods and bands play in the gazebo. The town also has a sizeable dog park with an agility course.
