Avon, MAInc. 1700
Avon is one of the smallest towns in Norfolk County — just over five square miles — with a compact mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Route 24 and Route 28 run through the town, bringing highway-accessible commercial and industrial properties that contribute significantly to the tax base. The residential stock is predominantly single-family homes from the post-war era.
For property professionals, Avon is a straightforward, small suburban market. The highway corridor commercial properties add diversity to what would otherwise be a purely residential community, and the town's compact size means the entire market is knowable at the property level.
