The neighborhood
Living in Grafton.
Grafton is quietly one of the best value propositions in the Worcester-to-Boston corridor. Direct commuter rail, strong enough schools, lower pricing than Westborough or Shrewsbury, and a walkable village center.
Grafton Common, Friday night concerts in summer, Tufts Veterinary events, and quick drives to either Worcester or Providence. It’s understated — which is part of why it works.
