Natick, MA

Natick is a MetroWest town that has grown into one of the region's most significant commercial centers. The Natick Mall (now Natick Collection) and the surrounding retail and commercial development along Route 9 and Route 27 create a commercial tax base that rivals much larger communities. The residential neighborhoods range from the historic homes near the town center and along Lake Cochituate to the suburban subdivisions that expanded through the latter half of the 20th century.

Lake Cochituate and the surrounding state park create waterfront properties and environmental features in the eastern part of town. For property professionals, Natick offers a diverse market — the commercial corridors, the range of residential property types and ages, and the lake-adjacent properties create more variation in assessed values and risk profiles than a typical suburban town. The town's MetroWest position and highway access keep demand strong across property types.
