Sharon is a good place to live with good public schools. However, there aren't much to do in the town for teenagers: public library, school, parks, Crescent Ridge (the best thing in Sharon), and home. There is no super/market besides Cumberland at the gas station.
We live on the outskirts of Sharon, so it's easy to get to Canton, Walpole, and Providence highway to Boston; Big-Y and Walmart are a 5-minute drive, and Costco is 15. Pretty convenient if you live away from the center of Sharon, and if you commute.

Sharon, MA is a beautiful town with abundant wildlife and scenic views. The most notable part of town is Lake Massapoag, where every local spends their summers on the beach, and their winters on the ice. The public schools system is one of the best in the state, and the smaller school populations make sure that every student gets the help they need. The main downside to Sharon is the fact that, because it is a fairly wealthy town, there are a lot of mindsets that tend to "look down" on others because of their wealth. There are not many public spaces accessible to those who don't have a lot of money. Hopefully, in the future, more inclusive spaces will be opened within the town of Sharon, allowing more people to join this beautiful community.
Sharon is a great town! It's quiet, small, and has a very homey feel to it. It's a predominantly white Jewish town, but there are a multitude of different races that reside here as well. However, growing up here you would here a lot of kids say that there's nothing to do in Sharon because of the lack of popular businesses (ex. Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, etc) and also the lack of entertainment industries such as shopping mall, outlets, or stores, movie theatre, etc. I guess it just depends on how quiet you like the town you live in to be.
