Westford, MAInc. 1635
Westford is a large suburban town that has grown significantly since the 1980s, driven by the development of the Route 495 corridor and the technology companies that located along it. The town's housing stock includes a historic village center with pre-1900 homes, but the majority of residential properties were built during the town's rapid growth phase from the 1980s through 2010s. Newer subdivisions with contemporary colonial and craftsman-style homes have filled in much of the former farmland.
For property professionals, Westford is a relatively new housing market by New England standards — a large share of the stock is post-1980, which means modern construction techniques, newer systems, and less of the age-related condition variation found in the older Middlesex communities. The town's strong school system and proximity to both Route 495 and Route 3 employment centers keep demand and assessed values in the upper tier of the western suburbs.
