A glimpse into Taunton’s past and future
Whittenton is focused on moving forward without changing the neighborhood’s character. Organizations like Whittenton Community Partnership are heading up projects like putting up new pole banners and sponsoring murals. “There are a lot of old manufacturing buildings in Whittenton,” says Debbie Edwards, a real estate agent with Jack Conway & Co. "You can tell what it would have been like in the past when it was a huge industry.” The Whittenton Mills Complex is a glimpse into Taunton’s past that will impact its future. It is expected to turn into a large apartment complex with some commercial space. The Loft is a resilience center and community space that will provide programming, support, and events for residents. Weir Village has a CAP Index crime score of 4 out of 10, on par with the national average of 4.

Shopping and dining off of Interstate 495
“Whittenton has a small neighborhood feel,” Edwards says. “It’s a couple of stores, a fire department and catholic churches. The houses and business are close together.” The cluster of shopping and dining off of Interstate 495 includes Bj’s, Dollar Tree and a handful of fast-food chains. In the same plaza, Brack’s Grille and Tap's Taunton location is a casual eatery that mainly serves American cuisine with a few international dishes like Portuguese steak. Trucchi’s off Tremont Street is the closest grocery store. Pizza shops, dinners and small businesses like Whittenton Hardware line Bay Street. The neighborhood is also home to Morton Hospital.
