With various streams and the Shumatuscacant River flowing through the terrain, Abington is a suburban township in Plymouth County. Located about 20 miles south of Boston and 25 miles north of Plymouth, this former shoe manufacturing center is now a primarily residential suburb known for expansive natural landscapes and outdoor recreation.

Many people work in healthcare, education and retail services, and the community boasts many small-sized businesses. “Abington is a great up-and-coming town,” says Menajda Kasza, a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker Realty with 6 years of experience. “It’s very commuter-friendly and gives you a small-town feel with a relaxed lifestyle.”
