Walpole is an awesome, family-focused town about 35 minutes south of Boston. I have always been impressed by the energy directed towards the town’s school system and creating a safe environment! Most notable, however, is the commitment Walpole residents have for each other, never failing to come together in times of crisis and need.
Excellent town - great for families (lots of support and activities for kids), great schools (getting a brand new middle school soon) and sports, the town rallies around its people (the town spirit is off the charts and so welcoming), diversity, and a very doable commute to Boston. Overall, this town is a gem and on the way up. Highly recommend!
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.
