Vibrant lifestyle at Stone Ridge

Homebuyers seeking to escape the high home prices of Boston often look to the city’s outer suburbs in the I-495 region of Massachusetts for better affordability and more choice. But homebuyers can face a lifestyle tradeoff when they look in the I-495 area. We’ll review what that tradeoff is in this post and also present to you a perfect solution to the conundrum: the Town of Franklin, and for condo buyers, the Stone Ridge Condominiums!

The I-495 tradeoff

Many homebuyers seeking a reprieve from Boston’s high home prices and yet remain within commuting distance to Boston set their sights on the I-495 region of Massachusetts, known for its affordability and greater housing options.

However, it’s essential to understand that bedroom communities with a small-town, country vibe predominate in the I-495 loop. Restaurants, eateries, and bars can be few and far between. Small towns though charming, can sometimes leave newcomers feeling isolated, especially those accustomed to the vibrant pulse of city life.
