Acton is a suburban community located 25 miles northwest of Boston.
Although Acton’s population has almost tripled in the last three decades,
the town has retained much of its rural New England character, as evidenced
by the traditional town center and green, with fine examples of historic
architecture, and the stone walls and tree-lined country roads.
However, Acton is well prepared for the 21st century. Acton affords a full
range of services to its residents and businesses, including an active town
government, top-notch libraries, a nationally accredited police department,
a full-time fire department, and local and regional school systems that are
ranked among the top in the state.
Commerce continues to thrive and grow in Acton due in large part to its
prime location along Routes 2, 27 and 111, the commuter train stop, and its
proximity to Route 495. A wide range of retail stores and services, a
community theater, various types of commercial recreation and several
museums, can all be found in Acton.
