Peaceful suburban living in Greater Boston
Wilmington is a suburban town less than 20 miles north of Boston that attracts homebuyers for its proximity to major highways, commuter rail access and well-established residential communities. Once a rural farming area, Wilmington has transitioned into a bedroom community with more than 23,000 residents and quiet neighborhoods. Although there is a manufacturing presence with large tech employers such as Analog, Charles River Laboratories and AGFA BayerCorp, many residents work outside of town and have jobs in health, science and technical sectors. “It’s a community-oriented, sleepy little town close to Boston, and it’s been written up a million times as one of the best places in the country to live,” says Druann Jedrey, real estate agent at Leading Edge Real Estate who had an office in Wilmington for 15 years. “The people who live there love it.”
