Plainville, MAInc. 1661
Plainville is a small town at the intersection of I-495 and Route 1, with a mix of residential neighborhoods and commercial development driven by the highway interchange. The Plainridge Park Casino, which opened in 2015, has added a significant commercial presence and revenue source to the town. The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes.
For property professionals, Plainville is a small, moderate market where the I-495 interchange and the casino create more commercial property and development activity than the town's residential character alone would suggest.
