Nobscot offers natural beauty and home variety
Nobscot, a village within the city of Framingham, is a residential community where options abound. “It has an interesting medley of starter homes, farms and mansions,” says Alison Corton, Realtor with ERA Key Realty Services and 20-year Framingham resident. “It’s one of Framingham’s most expensive and most beautiful neighborhoods. There are winding country roads and lots of trees.” With access to parks and farm-fresh produce, the area has a rural feel despite being only 25 miles from Boston. Families can choose from schools within a 1-mile radius or lottery to attend some of the city’s bilingual elementaries.

Enjoying nature at Nobscot Park
Nobscot Park is well suited for an afternoon picnic or a walk through the woods. “We have a variety of wildlife here. It’s really special,” says Christine Long, the District 1 city councilor of Framingham and Nobscot resident, who notes that it’s not uncommon to see a few woodpeckers and other woodland creatures in the parks. Another popular outdoor space, Garden in the Woods, is a 45-acre botanical garden where visitors can stroll paths lined with native New England plants. Just west of Nobscot is Callahan State Park, which offers 7 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding.

From farmland to Colonial Revivals in Nobscot
Until the 1950s, much of Nobscot’s land was forest and farmland. There are a few remaining homesteads from the 1700s and 1800s, but most available real estate was constructed prior to 1950. Along the curvilinear residential streets, ranch-style, split-level and raised ranch-style homes are prevalent. Prices for these generally fall between $600,000 and $800,000. There are also several Colonial Revivals from the late 1900s, which often sell anywhere from $700,000 to over $1 million. Buyers may also find grand, early 1900s Tudor Revivals and newly built traditional-style homes — these run between $1 million and $1.6 million. Corton says that an “agrihood” is also under development — Baiting Brook Farm, a 55+ community situated in the middle of a working farm.
