A convenient location and esteemed schools in the Boston exurb of Walpole
Walpole, Massachusetts, lies between Boston and Providence, Rhode Island, about 25 miles from the former and 28 from the latter. This community of about 28,000 residents is known for its well-regarded public schools and convenient access to its larger neighbors. “Walpole has great schools, and you can commute to Boston and Providence,” says Linda Wigren, a broker associate with Jack Conway who has sold homes in the area for over 15 years. “It has a commuter rail station, access to I-95, lots of open space for recreation and proximity to shopping and good restaurants.”
Walpole is a quaint community nestled between expansive greenery and rural residential areas.

A competitive market that includes suburban colonials and expensive estates
Homes in this area sell quickly, with an average of 19 days on the market, moving much faster than the national average. “Walpole has a very competitive housing market, with many homes going under agreement within a week of being listed,” Wigren says. “Currently, this is typical of most of the greater Boston area.” The median price for a single-family home is $770,000, quite a bit higher than the national figure. Ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals sit on large, wooded lots between Interstate 95 and Washington Street, while farmhouses and Dutch Colonials line Common Street, closer to Walpole’s downtown. Large homes with wide lawns and woods at their back lie in the area’s northern section. The community also has some expansive estates, which can cost over $2.8 million.

Highly rated Walpole Public Schools, highlighted by a new middle school
Walpole Public Schools, the local district, earns an A-minus from Niche. It's home to four elementary schools: Old Post Road, Fisher, Elm Street and Boyden, which earn two A grades, an A-minus and a B-plus, respectively. Walpole Middle School, which opened in the fall of 2024, does not yet have a Niche grade. It merged the student population of Bird Middle and Eleanor M. Johnson Missile, which both earned A-minus grades before closing. Walpole High School earns a B-plus. Norfolk County Agricultural High School is a public option for students interested in mechanics and agricultural sciences.

Conservation areas, parks and community programs
Residents have ample green space to enjoy. Adam’s Farm has trails, an event space that hosts live music and other events, a community garden, and a butterfly garden. Town Forest was established in 1916 for public use and encompasses about 365 acres, with over 9 miles of hiking trails. At Bird Park, which celebrates its centennial in June 2025, residents can stroll through pockets of trees and across fields and stone bridges, or visit the frog ponds and play areas. Ponds such as Bird and Willett provide launches for canoe and kayak paddlers. “Walpole has a great town recreation department, which offers a variety of programs for all ages,” Wigren says. These include first aid and CPR certifications, sports leagues and game nights.
With over 700 acres of land, Adam's Farm is maintained by the community of Walpole and provides the town with various outdoor amenities.

Big cities nearby and local favorites close at hand
While convenient to shopping and dining in downtown Boston and Providence, this area has plenty to offer on its own. “The restaurant scene includes several excellent Irish pubs such as Finnegan's Wake and The Raven's Nest,” Wigren says. “Tessie is popular for burgers, and Sakura is very popular for sushi.” The Walpole Mall off U.S. Route 1 and the Norwood Shopping Center are two local retail centers, and more shops line Main Street near downtown, including a Stop & Shop grocery store.

Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1 both run alongside Walpole, connecting the area to other towns, as well as Boston and Providence.

Logan International Airport is 27 miles away. Newton-Wellesley Hospital is about 16 miles north of Walpole, while the MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham is about 14 miles northwest.
Walpole Days and holiday parades bring the community together
Walpole hosts several annual events throughout the year, including its namesake Walpole Days. “The whole town celebrates Walpole Day in May with a parade and a fair,” Wigren says. Besides the parade, the event features live music, a market full of vendors and food choices, kids' activities, and more. “During the Fourth of July, we have a parade and fireworks,” Wigren says. “And after Thanksgiving, we have a Santa parade.”
