Living in Dedham

Dedham is a hidden gem and a commuter’s dream! Discover this English-style Village on the Charles River inside of Route 95 and geographically convenient to everything in Metropolitan Boston. Those who are finding the pinch of price and space are discovering great values and rich diversity in Dedham. There are seven distinct neighborhoods each with their own charm offering something for everyone; darling bungalows or capes, the classic colonials or the private estates with acres of land. It is a wonderful place to live with a strong sense of history and a rock solid community. You actually know your neighbors and you care about each other.

The urban hip historic center offers boutique shopping, independently owned cinema, restaurants, coffee shops, and yoga/Pilate studios. Motherbrook Arts and Community Center, where resident artists lease studios, offers art shows, film series, and lessons for music and art. The serene and peaceful trails of the 200+ acre reservation of Wilson Mt. and Witcomb Woods offer ideal outdoor recreation as do numerous boating launch sites along the Charles River. Civic engagement has never been higher with established non-profits like the Dedham Historic Society, Dedham Square Circle, and Dedham Civic Pride, and the greenhouse at the Endicott Estate.

The commute to Boston is a breeze with easy access to five train stations. 15 minutes to Back Bay and 22 minutes to South Station. Amtrak’s Acela servicing Providence, NYC and Washington DC is within minutes. Also nearby are a myriad of superb private and parochial schools, Legacy Place, University Station, southern routes to the beaches and northern routes to the mountains.
