Stow Homes for Rent

Though Stow is less than 30 miles from Boston, its rural setting allows for an escape from city life. “It’s great for outdoorsy people,” says Deb Kotlarz, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Boston NW who has lived in the neighboring town of Bolton for nearly 30 years. “There are trails, waterways, golf and apple picking.” Many buyers prize its highly regarded schools and large residential lots. Throughout the town, back roads meander past lichen-covered stone walls and tall hardwood trees. As one might expect in a New England town, Colonial Revival-style homes dominate the landscape. There are energy-efficient, new-construction Colonial Revivals, as well as more established farmhouse Colonials and Georgian-style residences dating as far back as the early 1700s. Many are set on wooded, 1-plus-acre lots and priced between $1 million and $2 million. Buyers might also find smaller, 1970s ranch-style homes in the $475,000 to $700,000 range. “Post-Covid demand has outstripped supply and driven prices up,” Kotlarz says. Homeowners will need to maintain their own septic systems and those who live near waterways may need to purchase flood insurance. Students in Stow attend Nashoba
