Natick Real Estate Overview
Natick Real Estate Overview
Natick Summary
Natick is a great place to buy a home and raise a family. Natick’s town center boasts many family friendly activities on its wide open town green. The downtown has several blocks of local restaurants, shops, and needed services. Close access to Boston and an excellent school system make Natick a very desirable choice for the real estate buyer. Natick is defined by the diverse options of real estate choices including condos, small village colonials, new development, and luxury homes. Pride in Natick shows in the recently redeveloped downtown area with brand new fire station, and town buildings both architecturally designed to resemble turn of the century brick construction. For those looking for a more bucolic lifestyle, Natick offers “South Natick”, a small village along route 16 that boast larger homes and an ideal commuting location into Boston routes that role through former farm lands.

Natick Schools & Education
Natick Public Schools are "building the future, one child at a time." Natick's highly rated school system is getting a boost with a new High School. Construction began December 2010. Natick High School brings together two middle schools that absorb five elementary schools.
Natick also benefits from the presence of private schools, notably the Walnut School for the Arts providing education in ballet, writing, music, theater, and visual arts for over 100 years. Natick's Riverbend School was formed in July 2010 by the merger of the Eliot Montessori School and Natick Montessori School and serves students from 15 months of age through grade 8. Natick is also home to private preschools, the Brandon Residential Treatment School, and Westgate Christian Academy for grades pre-kindergarten through 8.
Kids & Family in Natick
Dining and shopping isn't only for the adults in Natick, home to many family friendly restaurants like the Natick Pizza Palace, Casey's Diner, and the ever-popular Kelly's Roast Beef. Try Lego and American Girl places for shopping adventures with your children. For events that bring a town together, though, the Recreation and Parks Department, "creating community through people, parks, and programs," sponsors Parents Night Out and the Fantastic Friday grade level parties with their own DJs and contests. Make ornaments to trim the tree with Santa at Holiday on the Common.
For a lively afternoon, kids head to the skateboarding park; for a nice family walk, the trails at Massachusetts Audobon's Broadmore Wildlife Sanctuary; for nature, the Indian Brook Nature Center.
Natick Dining & Shopping

For a taste of the town try Maxwell's148 for an American menu, Sel de la Terre for French cuisine, Oga's Japanese Cuisine, Skipjack's seafood, Agostino's Italian menu, Metropolitan Bar & Grill for steak, and the Clever Monk coffee shop anytime.
Natick Collection, an upscale shopping mall housing Neiman Marcus, Lord & Taylor, and Louis Vuitton is a must-stop on The Golden Mile. Whether your tastes lean more towards bebe or Betsey Johnson, you'll find it in Natick real estate.
