Relocating to Ashland?

Considering a move to Ashland Massachusetts? Did you know that it is rated #20 best suburbs to buy a house in Massachusetts? This suburb of Boston is home to just under 18,000 residents and it's a sparse, suburban atmosphere where most residents own their own homes. You'll find restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and a few shops but a lot of folks move here because of the school systems, and the quieter pace of life versus the hustle and bustle of Boston.

How Ashland Got Started

Ashland was originally settled in the early 18th century and was previously known as Unionville. It was incorporated in 1846 as its own city but it's considerably younger than many of the surrounding towns. It got its start with granite mills, a bustling boot and shoe industry, and because of its location along the Sudbury River, it was easy to commute to and from this area. For most of the 20th century, Ashland's population grew slowly until the postwar boom in the 1950s. Ashland grew from a small rural town to a primarily residential suburb of Boston by the 1980s. It's about 20 miles west of Boston and over time, many farms and open spaces have created developments in subdivisions but still, some untouched land remains. The Ashland Town Forest, Ashland State Park, Warren Woods, and some land comprising the beach and dam portions of Hopkinton State Park still offer untouched woodland and forested areas.

Ashland Schools

Ashland has top-rated schools and in 2005, the town completed the new high school and revise the division of grades. This change means that sixth-grade was moved to join the seventh and eighth grades in the former high school creating the Ashland middle school. The third grade moved from the Warren elementary school into Mindness elementary school to join the fourth and fifth grades. In 2014, Ashland high school was ranked #19 in the state of Massachusetts out of 352 schools and has been considered one of the top-rated schools in the country by various reports.

Ashland is part of its own Ashland public school system and includes one high school, one middle school, the Pittaway school for ages 3 to 5, the Warren elementary school for grades kindergarten through second grade, and the mindedness school for grades 3 through 5.
