Lake Boon is a waterfront community with a hot market
Between Stow and Hudson, Lake Boon is a picturesque community on the water. It was a summer tourist destination in the late 19th century because it was accessible by railroad lines. In the past 30 years, the neighborhood has had an influx of year-round residents and has become much more residential. “Waterfront is really sought after these days,” says Lori Megee, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Boston Northwest who has sold several properties in the area. “If you price a listing on Lake Boon right, it flies off the market. A lot of people don’t even have to put their homes on the market. They get letters in their mailboxes asking if they’d ever be willing to sell.”
Homes in Lake Boone offers private docks with private access to the lake.

Quiet afternoons on the lake and a holiday boat parade
Lake Boon has a small dirt ramp for boaters, canoers and kayakers. "On Sunday afternoons, there are designated quiet afternoons without motorboats that give the paddleboarder and kayakers some quiet time on the lake,” Megee says. “But, for the most part, it’s usually pretty quiet.” In the winter, the lake is often used for ice fishing and pond hockey. Pine Bluff Recreational Area is a park on the water with soccer fields and a playground. The neighborhood has its own Fourth of July celebration. "They have a boat parade, and people do up their boats and watch fireworks from the water,” Megee says. Hikers can visit Marlborough-Sudbury State Forest and Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge.
