Living in Dedham

Dedham is a hidden gem and a commuter's dream! Discover this English-style village on the Charles River inside Route 95, geographically convenient to everything in Metropolitan Boston. Those finding the pinch of price and space are discovering great values and rich diversity in Dedham. There are seven distinct neighborhoods each with their own charm — darling bungalows or capes, classic colonials, or private estates with acres of land. It is a wonderful place to live with a strong sense of history and a rock solid community. You actually know your neighbors and you care about each other.

The historic center offers boutique shopping, an independently owned cinema, restaurants, coffee shops, and yoga studios. Motherbrook Arts and Community Center offers art shows, film series, and music and art lessons. The serene trails of the 200+ acre Wilson Mountain and Witcomb Woods offer ideal outdoor recreation, as do numerous boating launch sites along the Charles River. Civic organizations like the Dedham Historic Society, Dedham Square Circle, and the greenhouse at the Endicott Estate round out a vibrant community calendar.

The commute to Boston is a breeze with easy access to five commuter rail stations — 15 minutes to Back Bay and 22 minutes to South Station. Amtrak Acela service to Providence, NYC, and Washington DC is minutes away. Excellent private and parochial schools, Legacy Place, and University Station are also nearby.
