Vibrant suburban Boston community

Stoughton is a suburb about 20 miles outside of Boston that tends to fly under the radar in the shadow of surrounding towns. However, as a place with an assortment of amenities and attractions where housing prices are comparatively more accessible, Stoughton deserves its own spotlight. “People don’t recognize Stoughton as much as they should,” says local Realtor Nadine Israel, co-leader of The Fred and Nadine Team with Keller Williams, with 27 years of experience selling homes in the Boston area. “Because it’s a really good town.”

Range of home styles from different eras

According to Israel, home seekers can find a house in Stoughton that's identical to one in a neighboring town, like Canton or Sharon, but the Stoughton house will be less expensive. There is a diverse mix of options in Stoughton, too. Homes range from those built in the late 19th century to recent builds. The common thread around town is Stoughton’s lawn space, where standard lots are typically at least 13,000 square feet. Many of Stoughton’s well-manicured yards are adorned with mature trees, and some streets feature sidewalks. The home styles in Stoughton are just about as varied as the home ages, from turn-of-the-century colonials to midcentury ranch styles to 21st-century new traditional layouts. Sizes range from 700 to 4,400 square feet, and sale prices cross a wide span, too: anywhere from about $300,000 for a fixer-upper to $1 million in some cases. And, even if Stoughton is still largely unrecognized, there’s competition for available listings. “I think anywhere right now there's high demand because there’s just not enough inventory,” Israel says.

Stoughton Public Schools earns a B-plus from Niche

Area kids attend Stoughton Public Schools, a district with a B-plus rating from Niche, including Joseph R. Dawe Jr. Elementary School and Dr. Robert G. O'Donnell Middle, both given a B-minus rating. After O'Donnell, students move to B-plus-rated Stoughton High School, which fills a new 214,000-square-foot facility that opened in 2019. “It’s a state-of-the-art high school,” Israel says. “It’s magnificent.”

Ponds, trails and playgrounds

Stoughton’s suburban blocks weave around a fair share of outdoor lures. Right by the center of town is the Woods Pond area, where visitors can fish or canoe on the pond or hike around it. The expansive Stoughton Memorial Conservation Land area has enough trails to keep anyone from getting bored, with paths that range from easy to intermediate difficulty. There’s also a place for the kids. The Bradley Lessa Memorial Playground features a small rock climbing wall and a play area full of slides and obstacles to climb. Ames Long Pond, an 86-acre expanse that borders the Stoughton Memorial Conservation Land, is a destination for both swimming and fishing.

Plentiful stores and eateries

When dining in town, residents of Stoughton are drawn to the Route 138 corridor, also known as Washington Street. Amelia’s, La Stalla Osteria & Bar, and Feijó Steak House are among what Israel considers the highlights here. Both are Italian establishments, liked in part for their scallops and their pork shank, respectively. Feijó is a Brazilian steakhouse that serves its sides buffet style. Stoughton also has plenty of retail options to the east off of Turnpike Street, ranging from Target to Ikea to Costco.

Destination Boston

The eastern part of town borders another of Stoughton’s attractions: Route 24. Route 24 feeds into Interstate 93, helping Stoughton residents make the 20-mile drive to downtown Boston. Stoughton's Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail station sits in the center of town by Washington Street and is another option for Boston-bound travelers.

Everyone loves a parade

Washington Street is also home to multiple traditions that bring the town together: parades. Local folks are known to gather along the street several times a year to witness the fun and festivities that accompany the annual Fourth of July parade, Veterans Day parade and Holiday Parade of Lights.
