Why Live in Freetown
Freetown, nestled in eastern Massachusetts, offers a rural charm with its dense forests and scenic rivers, complemented by a rich maritime history. The community is known for its Colonial roots, evident in the prevalent colonial-revival homes, alongside ranch styles and Cape Cods, all situated on spacious lots that often exceed two acres. The Freetown-Lakeville Regional School District is well-regarded, with all schools receiving high ratings, providing a solid educational foundation. Community events like the Fourth of July parade and the Father’s Day Strawberry Festival foster a tight-knit atmosphere. The Freetown-Fall River State Forest, a notable feature of the area, spans 5,000 acres and offers 25 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, along with opportunities for fishing and enjoying the splash pad. While local dining options include the popular Profile Tavern and Nellie Rose Diner, residents often travel to nearby Fall River, Taunton, or New Bedford for more extensive shopping and dining experiences. Shaw’s supermarket and Family Dollar are conveniently located 15 minutes away, and Providence, Rhode Island, is accessible in under 40 minutes via Interstate 195. The high-speed commuter train to Boston enhances connectivity, contributing to rising property values and increasing the town's appeal.
