Since before it was incorporated in 1729, Becket was a growing community. With a population of nearly 14,000 people as of 2010, Bedford is the ideal place to live for those seeking a small town atmosphere. Bedford is the 147th largest community in the state, and it does not feel congested or squeezed together.
Bedford offers lovely colonial charm associated with any New England village, and the history matches the appearance. The town's homes are situated on wooded lots, offering lovely architecture. Single family homes may start at about $450,000 in this community, which is considered largely upscale with oversized lots. Luxury condos are also readily available in Bedford, especially alongside golf courses and farms.
The most common home styles in Bedford include Victorian and colonial. Additionally, you will see plenty of Cape and ranch homes to add character to the community. In fact, some of the homes actually are updated from the 1600s.
This Middlesex County town is part of the Greater Boston community, just 15 miles away from the large city. If you want to live in this residential area, sign up for an open house to learn more about homes available in the area.
