Small town with commuter access to Boston and Providence
Settled in 1652, Raynham is a quiet Massachusetts town 30 miles northeast of Providence and 34 miles south of Boston. "It's not a very large town, probably about 12,000 residents," says Carol Sullivan, owner of Carol Sullivan Realtor and a Raynham local for over 50 years. "People move south of Boston and settle in Raynham because of the school systems and availability to major highways and commuter rails." Aside from U.S. Route 44, which is packed with shopping and dining, Raynham is a quiet community with rustic charm, pastoral landscapes and a mix of new and historic homes. "As far as residential properties, Raynham is probably lower-priced than any town closer to Boston," Sullivan says. "It's a friendly town to live in. I've lived here for 50 years and made a good living here."
Raynham is a town steeped in history and tradition with a thoroughly modern atmosphere.
A broad array of housing styles and ages bring to Raynham both 19th century and 21st century homes.

Fast-moving housing market with new and historic homes
"It's a very active housing market," Sullivan says. "There's just not enough on the market; when something is listed, it sells immediately." Homes here are diverse, typically dating from the 18th century through today. "There's quite a bit of new construction going on, but it's a mix," Sullivan says. "It's a mix of both age and prices."
Sullivan says colonial and ranch-style homes are the most common styles here. "There are some very nice subdivisions; there's townhouses and there's apartments available," Sullivan says. "Most of the subdivisions are smaller lots." Newer homes are generally close together in sidewalk-lined subdivisions, while older homes are more secluded along country roads lined with trees. The median home price in Raynham is about $670,000, compared to $900,000 in Boston.
New homes in Raynham include many pleasantly hidden subdivisions that are classically inspired.

Scenic spots and quiet green spaces
Raynham has lots of rolling landscapes and wooded groves to explore, like Pine Swamp's dirt-packed trails where birders can spot Canada geese, ring-billed gulls and yellow warblers. Along King Phillips Street are a few planned areas to relax, including a playground, gazebo and playing fields. Nearby, Johnsons Pond is a scenic spot with mature trees, animal sculptures and picnic benches where folks can fish for largemouth bass and black crappie. "It's a great place for the local people to skate in the winter when it freezes or to just sit and enjoy the water view," Sullivan says. Lake Nippenicket, locally referred to as "The Nip," is a serene spot just outside of town for fishing and boating. "Those are two popular areas to enjoy sunning yourself or just relax by the water," Sullivan says.
Johnson's Pond is a relaxing spot to go fishing or read a book by the water in Raynham.

Shopping and dining at national chains and decades-old community mainstays
"Route 44 is our major artery for shopping — grocery stores, restaurants; it's pretty active," Sullivan says. Along U.S. Route 44, shopping plazas feature a mix of small businesses, franchise restaurants and big-box retailers, like Walmart and Lowe's. There are casual dining chains like Chili's and Applebee’s alongside locally owned eateries like Our Mom's Place, a family-run brunch spot that has been serving buttermilk pancakes and breakfast skillets for over 15 years. Raynham Flea Market is another local highlight, a Sunday marketplace that's been in business for over 50 years with dozens of vendors selling everything from secondhand t-shirts and toys to vintage furniture and artisan crafts. "You can get a little bit of anything and everything," Sullivan says. There are also a handful of local businesses along Broadway, including The Milk Bottle, a laid-back diner inside of a 50-foot-tall milk bottle built in 1925, a relic of 20th-century American roadside whimsy.
The Milk Bottle stands about 50 feet tall with dining inside the iconic tower a delight for anyone living in or visiting Raynham.
Big-box stores like Lowe's give Raynham a retail presence unlike most other nearby towns.

Community events in Raynham
In August, Raynham Community Day is an annual tradition that celebrates the spirit and people of Raynham. "It's a big event," Sullivan says. "All the vendors get together, and they have the high school bands and all kinds of entertainment." Festivities include pony rides, a pie baking contest and everything from magic shows and balloon animals to live music and face painting. "It's actually a free venue for anyone who wants to be involved," Sullivan says. There are also annual holiday events, like the Veterans' Parade, where folks wave flags as they march through town to the gazebo on King Phillips Street. "The gazebo is beautiful," Sullivan says. "In the wintertime, there's a tree lighting ceremony there."
The Raynham Flea is a delightful flea market that draws vendors and shoppers from across the region.
