Canton Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 44 reviews
I like the town center and proximity to public transit and access to Boston. As well. I enjoy the towns many small businesses such as clothing stores, restaurants, and more. One thing I wish to improve on is our town's diversity.
Canton is a lovely town. My family and I moved from Florida to Canton Massachusetts almost two decades ago. The two isn't too quiet and is diverse. Most people in Canton are middle/ upper-class citizens; however, everyone has a place in Canton. Canton is a town that I will always have a spot for (now that I moved). I am hoping upon finishing my degree and working I am able to move back to the town that welcomed my family and me for more than 15 years!
Canton is a wonderful place to live with a lot of quiet neighborhoods and friendly people. I live on a dead end street by a pond just 5 minutes from the center of town. The sight is beautiful and enjoyable. It’s a great place to enjoy a long walk. There are many stores that are very convenient from groceries to clothes to home appliances. There are good job opportunities especially for people entering the working field for the first time. The school system is excellent. Students have lots of opportunities to explore, and be active in school and in the community.
