New England colonial home in Worcester County in fall

Life in Framingham, MA

Framingham is the anchor of the MetroWest region, halfway between Boston and Worcester. It is known for the Framingham Heart Study, the Golden Triangle retail district along Route 9 and Route 30, and corporate headquarters such as TJX. It also has one of the largest Brazilian American communities in the country, which shows in the downtown food scene.

John Stone built the first English farm on the Sudbury River in 1647 at what is now Saxonville, and Framingham was incorporated as a town in 1700 after Thomas Danforth's death. From 1854 to 1865 abolitionists rallied every July 4 at Harmony Grove on Farm Pond, where William Lloyd Garrison burned a copy of the Constitution in 1854. Long the largest town in Massachusetts, Framingham became a city on January 1, 2018. A city of about 72,000 people with distinct villages: a historic green in Framingham Centre, mill-era Saxonville, quiet Nobscot, and a busy, diverse downtown with a commuter rail stop. Daily life mixes big-box shopping on Route 9 with Brazilian bakeries, pond beaches and conservation trails.

The civic core around the Memorial Building and the commuter rail stop.

Buying in Framingham: what Ryan and Megan check

  • Framingham enforces odd/even on-street parking all year. In even years you park on the even-numbered side, in odd years the odd side. During declared snow emergencies parking is banned on posted snow arteries, so check driveway and off-street parking.
  • The city has five local historic districts protecting 84 properties, plus a demolition delay bylaw. Homes near the Centre Common, Saxonville and downtown may need Historic District Commission review before exterior changes.
  • FEMA revised the Middlesex County flood maps. Check any property near the Sudbury River, Farm Pond, Lake Cochituate or other ponds on the city GIS, and budget for an elevation certificate if it sits near a flood zone.
