Average great New England town. Great schools, emphasis on writing skills, above-average diversity compared to other suburbs, unmature children will pick and choose who to brush racism too in schools (a sad problem in America), but 98% of the population will accept you for who you are. Average New England houses and neighborhoods, one-stop of MBTA commuter rail, few stops of the MBTA 34E bus. Loving people all around. In the past 5 years, the sense of safety has gone down a bit at night sadly. Great main roads, great town officials, police officers, and employees of Town. Definitely have to leave Walpole to go shopping, but great superstores (Stop and Shop, Super Walmart etc) great local restaurants. New England all around but slightly better. Deserves to be one of the top places to raise a family in Massachusetts.
It is a very welcoming community with many opportunities waiting for people to prosper from. It's schooling system is on it's way to becoming better for the students entering the town. It is very beautiful and safe for children of all ages. The only downside to this town is its mall. The walpole mall is not a very inviting place to go shopping. It continues to attempt to create a better mall with stores that people will enjoy shopping at, however, it fails to create a happy environment for the citizens to want to shop at.
Walpole is a very family-oriented town with a good school system. It is conveniently located about half an hour from Boston, which makes it easy to visit the city on weekends, but there is often heavy rush hour traffic if you plan on commuting for business. It would be in your best interest to purchase a Commuter Rail Pass instead of driving into work.
