Location, Location, Location
Gorgeous homes in all sizes. Great restaurants and shopping. A rich Revolutionary history. The town of Bedford is a wonderful blend of the best that New England has to offer. Located 16 miles north-west of Boston, Bedford is easy to get in and out of with convenient access to many main commuter routes including Routes 3 and 128. I often describe Bedford as a “hidden gem” to my clients.
The MBTA also provides bus service into Alewife Station in Cambridge where you can grab the subway for a quick trip into Boston. Depending on how you look at it, Bedford is either the start or the end of the Minuteman Bikeway. This 11-mile trail is a favorite for walkers, runners and cyclists. On the other end of the trail is Alewife Station in Cambridge, with Arlington and Lexington in between.
