Overall Bedford is a warm and quiet neighborhood.
Although not very diverse, its people are open to meeting new people from far and near. Its schools are small, but its size allows increased teacher commitment for student engagement and success.
Its night life is lackluster, a short trip into Boston is nothing out of the ordinary. Family friendly activities are around every corner with new things to explore every weekend.

Small town, extreme left, no room for difference of opinion, boring and dry, too quiet. Schools care more about CRT and Gender Identity than academics. I would not live here if you do not fit the liberal arrogant hypocrite profile. I live here , thought it was different, moving soon to a more diverse place where I fell welcomed and respected!
Bedford is a nice little town to live. It's expensive, but it does have a highly-rated school system. It's quiet, and the town is one of those places that sort of roll the sidewalks up at 7pm... As in, stores close early. But it's a good place for kids, the entire town is very walkable. That said, there's like 1 way in and out of bedford, so trying to drive during rush hour definitely decreases your will to live. But the people are nice, though it's definitely a predominantly white neighborhood.
