The town of Norwood is another important suburb of Boston situated on the highway belt ring surrounding the Greater Boston Metropolitan Area. It's a short 14 mile drive to Boston and another 30 to Providence, Rhode Island. Norwood's excellent location amidst a great network of Interstate highways means that the average commute time is under 30 minutes.

With a population of 30,000, Norwood has a small-town atmosphere that's friendly and inviting. There are many beautiful historic homes like most suburban areas of Boston. That's because early settlements on the fringe of Boston were not easy to access until rail and road lines were built in the 20th century. Now, Norwood enjoys commuter rail service and bus service through teh Metroplitan Boston Transit Authority (MBTA) along with quick highway access along Route 1 and I-95.

Health and education are paramount to local residents. The Caritas/Norwood Hospital is a modern facility with a helicopter pad for medevac choppers. Just 30 minutes away, the prestigious Boston Teaching Hospitals are easy to reach as well. There are five elementary schools, one junior high, one senior high, and quick access to some of America's finest institutions for higher education like MIT and Harvard in Boston.
