Sherborn Real Estate Overview

Sherborn Community Summary

Sherborn real estate is defined by the luxury of open space. This small semi-rural community 18 miles southwest of Boston still has active farms and orchards, tree lined roads, and a Town Forest. More than half of the town's land is open space. Its pastoral setting, top notch school system, and proximity to Boston are a winning combination.

Sherborn Schools & Education

Sherborn joins with neighboring Dover to form the Dover-Sherborn school system. These schools show a commitment to excellence in public education led by their mission to inspire, challenge, and support students and exemplified by their high test scores and high state ranking. The Sherborn spirit of volunteerism extends to support of the schools with an active PTO, Friends of the Performing Arts, and Boosters who support the 80+% of high school students playing team sports. Go Raiders!

The contemporary library celebrates its 40th birthday in 2011 and will soon undergo renovation. Sherborn is home to The Peace Abbey, a multi-faith retreat center.
