Suburban meets rural in this quiet, safe, down-to-earth and friendly town filled with green spaces and nature. Lacks a proper town center and public transportation, so a car is essential to get around. Ethnic and cultural diversity has been growing and is increasingly reflected in the town’s excellent schools. If you’re a nature lover, it’s hard to beat Sudbury - biking, hiking, birding, canoeing and many more activities abound right in town. Most homes have spacious lots with nice yards. Friendly and down-to-earth neighbors. Downside for folks who like access to nightlife or cultural activities and events is that there’s very little of those. Same with diversity of stores and restaurants, though this has improved a bit. Overall, a quiet, beautiful, safe and green oasis west of Boston.
Sudbury has its reputation as a safe, family-friendly town with excellent public schools, but racial and socio-economic diversity here is lacking. The town is essentially 90% white and predominantly upper-middle-class, so the community feels insular.
There is not very much to do here, as the 'downtown' area consists of a Whole Foods and a few restaurants. One must travel to surrounding towns like Framingham or Natick if they wish to see a movie or go shopping. If you're a teenager living in Sudbury, don't expect to have much fun in the town unless you go to house parties and such. It has some historic sites and lots of colonial influence though, so that's cool!
I don't attend the public high school, but I've heard from friends in the town that students there are pretentious and drug use is rampant. It is a highly-rated school though, so I'll give SPS credit where it's due.

Sudbury is a safe, beautiful, leafy community 18 miles west of Boston. The town prides itself on its colonial heritage and highly rated public schools. There’s no real public transport in town so a car is a must for commuting. However there are 2 commuter rail stations north (Lincoln) and south (Framinhgam). Sudbury has 3 grocery stores including a new Whole Foods. There are several restaurants in town and all are good. Good proximity to major shopping (Natick Mall, Shoppers World and Rt 9 are 15-20 min drive) but not in your backyard. Strong parent community with high expectations for students. Lots of school-based as well as private club sports options.
