Sudbury Named A Top Boston-Area Town For Generation X

SUDBURY, MA — With the grunge era long behind us, many members of Generation X are in a phase of life that involves grungy diapers. And that might mean the need for a larger house in a quieter area.

Boston Magazine recently named Sudbury the "hottest" Boston suburb for Generation X. The magazine lists large homes with lots of land for kids (and pets) to run free, plus local attractions like a Whole Foods and other interesting shops as reasons why.

"If you’re looking for a couple thousand square feet plus a couple of acres for the kids and dog to frolic on, you’ll find it in Sudbury, where an abundance of new and antique builds makes it easy to find your forever home," the magazine in an article about the best towns in the area for every generation.

Of course, you have to be able to afford Sudbury. The magazine notes that home prices have jumped 15 percent in the last year to a median price of just under $900,000.
