Compare to another town
The Town of Canton is a primarily residential community conveniently situated 18 miles southwest of Boston. The town enjoys a prime location with easy and direct access to the state's major highways including Routes 128, I-95 and 24, and is served by major commuter and passenger rail. The town has a rich and varied industrial heritage, serving as the location of Paul Revere's copper rolling mills in post-Colonial times, and as the site of rubber, chemical and woolen manufacturing in more recent days. Present commercial and industrial enterprises play a key role in the town's fiscal stability and are considered a major asset of the community. The prime commercial area is well located so as to allow direct highway access without affecting the community's small town charm.
Canton provides a high level of municipal services to its residents, including an excellent library, school system and recreation programs. Many of the town's lakes, ponds and wetlands have been protected and preserved for present enjoyment and future generations. Among the protected areas are the Eleanor Cabot Bradley Reservation, an 82 acre estate that blends open fields, woodlands and gardens in the shadow of Great Blue Hill, and Pequitside Farm, a town-owned 38 acre conservation and recreation area which offers hiking, picnicking and cross country skiing.
Residents feel that the natural beauty of these areas combined with the numerous town sponsored spring and summer recreation programs make a very special statement of what Canton is like.

Location, Location. Desirable "Algonquin Estates" Located between Blue Hill Country Club and Milton-Hoosic Club. Not far from Rtes 95, 138 and 128.The current owners have deferred maintainence on their circa 1955 home with circa 1981 addition in anticipation of a continuance of the neighborhood trend which results in either a fantastic rehab or the tearing down of some the older homes and replacing them with mini-estate type homes. This hilltop setting lends itself favorably for that purpose.
