Hudson, MAInc. 1699
Hudson is a compact town in the western MetroWest region, with a dense downtown that reflects its industrial past and surrounding residential neighborhoods that have grown through successive waves of development. The town center retains its mill-town character — brick commercial buildings, close-set residential streets, and the kind of walkable layout that predates automobile-oriented planning.
For property professionals, Hudson offers an accessible market with moderate assessed values and a mix of housing types including multi-family buildings near the center and single-family homes in the outlying neighborhoods. The town's position along I-495 and Route 85 provides good highway access, and its smaller size compared to neighboring Marlborough and Framingham means a more manageable market to understand.
