Sutton’s agricultural roots and access to travel
Sutton rests in the Blackstone Valley, less than 10 miles south of Worcester. Settlers came to Sutton in the early 1700s in search of land, and the rich soil enabled farmers to grow a variety of crops. Today, Sutton is home to nearly 10,000 people, and although very few farms remain, the community still maintains a pastoral setting in many parts. “What people like about it is that it has an old New England feel. In the center of town, there’s a historic church and the town hall,” says Mark Balestracci, a Realtor with The Balestracci Group at Lamacchia Realty, who has lived in the Blackstone Valley for more than 24 years. “It’s very convenient, too, because you have access to Route 146.”
With nearly 10,000 residents, Sutton blends small-town growth with its enduring pastoral roots.
Sutton’s few remaining farms add a touch of rustic charm to the town’s peaceful landscape.

Hiking, lake recreation, golf and more
Sutton provides several options for outdoor recreation. Purgatory Chasm State Reservation covers more than 200 acres of land near state Route 146. “It’s great for hiking. People come from all over to see the big rock formations,” Balestracci says. Cross-country skiing and rock climbing are allowed as well. Residents can also hike around the old Shaw Farm, which was purchased by Sutton in 2007 and has acres of open space. Marion’s Camp, at the southern edge of Lake Singletary, is the town’s beach. It has walking paths, a kayak launch and picnic pavilions. The lake is prone to algae growth, especially during warm weather, and the town periodically treats the water with algaecide. Pleasant Valley Country Club members can play its 18-hole golf course, which hosted PGA and LPGA tournaments for many years. The course at Blackstone National Golf Club is open to the public. Baile Hill Farm offers horse boarding and training, as well as horseback riding lessons.
Sutton’s lakes offer the perfect backdrop for boating, fishing, and relaxing by the water’s edge.
Purgatory Chasm is a stunning natural landmark near Sutton, inviting visitors to explore its dramatic rock formations and scenic trails.

Sutton’s mix of newer developments and established homes
While some parts of Sutton have newer housing developments, other parts retain a more rural character. “There’s a lot of scenic countryside and certain sections of town have 2-acre minimum zoning, which gives people more privacy,” Balestracci says. Colonial Revivals, split-levels and ranch-style homes built between the 1800s and late 1900s tend to list between $300,000 and $850,000. Post-2000 houses with colonial-influenced architecture often range from $850,000 to $1.65 million. In the villages of Manchaug and Wilkinsonville, there are some townhouses, which may list from $500,000 to $770,000. Townhouses are connected to community water and sewer service, but single-family homeowners maintain their own wells and septic systems.
Sutton features newer-built homes that blend modern design with the town’s tranquil surroundings.

Schools along Boston Road and the nearby Whitinsville Christian School
Sutton’s four public schools are clustered together in a complex along Boston Road. The Simonian Center for Early Learning, which has a B Niche rating, offers prekindergarten through second grade. Third through fifth graders may attend the B-minus-rated Sutton Elementary School. Sutton Middle School gets a B rating, and Sutton High School receives an A-minus. High school students are required to complete a senior capstone project as part of their graduation requirements, but seniors who take four or more Advanced Placement classes are exempt from the requirement. Some parents opt to send their children to Whitinsville Christian School, a prekindergarten through 12th-grade private school that earns an A-minus on Niche.
Simonian Center for Early Learning has an extensive academic program for students.

A grocery store and restaurants, more retail in Auburn and Millbury
In Sutton Center, the town’s historic district, there’s a small convenience store across from the old blacksmith shop. Most other businesses are along state Route 146, including Market 32, a Starbucks and Tony's Sutton Pizza Restaurant. “Tony’s is a landmark,” Balestracci says. Framed photos of local baseball teams and famous patrons are nailed to the wood-paneled walls, and vinyl booths and stools provide seating options. Farther along the route is Brickstone Kitchen, which serves a variety of American and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Both golf courses also have restaurants that are open to the public. There are big-box stores in neighboring Millbury, and the Auburn Mall, anchored by Macy’s, is about 7 miles northwest.
Tony’s Sutton Pizza is a beloved local landmark known for its delicious, made-from-scratch pies and a legacy of great food and community warmth.
Sutton residents enjoy easy access to Auburn Mall, offering a wide variety of shops, dining, and entertainment just minutes away.

Sutton is connected to larger cities and services
Residents depend on cars for travel, and state Route 146 is the main thoroughfare. With Worcester to the north, Providence less than 35 miles southeast and Boston about 45 miles away, Sutton sometimes serves as a bedroom community. The closest Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail access is at the Grafton station, around 10 miles northeast. Emergency care is available just over 10 miles north, at the UMass Memorial Medical Center - University Campus, a Level I trauma center. Worcester Regional Airport, about 15 miles away, offers direct flights to five cities, including New York and Orlando.
Sutton residents can use Route 146 to commute to Worcester.
The nearest MBTA commuter rail stop is Grafton Station, conveniently located about 10 miles northeast of Sutton.

Holiday celebrations and tractor pulls
Each December, locals gather for the annual Sutton Chain of Lights celebration, which includes a tree-lighting ceremony, caroling and trolley rides to all the local businesses. Water’s Farm also hosts events such as tractor-pull competitions and the annual Water’s Farm Days in October. The Sutton Historical Society marks the end of each year with a celebratory Civil War cannon firing.
