Anyone live in/near Sudbury
Hi Ladies -
DH and I are moving to the Boston area, and were house hunting this past weekend. We saw a nice house in Sudbury, which we are definitely considering. It's in a great neighborhood, and we like that Sudbury has a good school system, and isn't a bad commute for DH (he works in Waltham - so it's about 20 minutes away).
The only drawback is that the town center doesn't seem walkable. I've always lived in towns where I could walk to the town center, and get food/coffee/etc, and do errands. While there seems to be quite a bit in Sudbury, our realtor said it isn't really a community where people walk to town. I kind of think I would miss that.
Wondering if anyone else has experience with this - and what their thoughts are. TIA 
Re: Anyone live in/near Sudbury
Hi Beth. I went through the same thing. H and I lived in Winthrop before moving out to Chelmsford. In Winthrop I could walk ANYWHERE in town. I could walk to get coffee, grocery store, and all the restaurants. It was a perfect town for pedestrians. When we moved to Chelmsford that was the thing I missed the most. Our town center had sidewalk just around the stores. Two years ago they put in sidewalk from town center going down the street...we still don't know if they will put sidewalk in as far as we are, but I am hoping.
For us it was worth giving up the easy access to town for a home with a large plot of land and great schools. Good luck!
The only time I've been to Sudbury was to visit the Jewelry Exchange so I don't know too much about the center of town. But I live in Hudson, not too far from Sudbury, and where DH and I live, we can walk anywhere. We walk to the grocery store, two great breakfast restaurants, coffee shop, downtown, etc...
We're also located on the Assabet River Rail Trail so we can walk that and not worry about traffic. I totally understand how nice that can be. When we moved out of Hudson back to my parents house for a summer in Mendon, I missed being able to walk everywhere. I love being back here.
We don't have kids yet and probably won't for another few years so I don't know much about the school system in these areas.
GL!!
Sudbury is a great town, we have friends that live there. They aren't near town though.
Natick also has a nice little down town. There are always people walking around the green which is near Park Street Ice Cream (the best)!
Wellesley has a great down town too. More expensive than Sudbury though.
