Living in Woburn

The 2006 median value of single family homes is about $300,000. Residential property taxes are a mere $8.70 per year per $1,000 assessed (among the very lowest in the state). In school, the per pupil annual expenditure is $5,400. Two of Woburn’s public elementary schools were recently cited among the top 10 in the state. Woburn students have cumulatively scored very well on the new state mandated MCAS exams. By far, the majority of Woburn High School graduates attend four-year colleges and universities. A brand new Woburn High School opens in September 2006.
Woburn opened its first truly public library in 1856, but the library’s history actually began more than 200 years ago. Its Romanesque quarters were designed by Henry M. Richardson, who also designed Boston’s Trinity Church. Woburn Public Library is architecturally one of the country’s most significant community libraries.
Of the estimated one-million-person population within a 10-mile radius of Woburn, 68.7 percent of those working are reportedly white collar workers; 36.4 percent have a college education; nearly 50 percent are of working age between 21 and 59, with 25.4 percent between ages 30 and 49. An estimated 10,174 businesses operate within a five-mile radius. No doubt about it-- Woburn is an ideal location for your business.
Why not move your business (and perhaps your family, too) to Woburn, conveniently located at the commercial crossroads of Greater Boston, the junction of Interstate 95 (Route 128) and Interstate 93. Woburn offers an easy commute and some of the best commercial leasing deals in New England.
Direct MBTA bus and train service between Cummings Park and downtown Boston and MetroNorth shuttle bus to commuter rail at Woburn's new Regional Transportation Center, and a host of hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment all combine for a most convenient locale. What a concept: less traffic, lower taxes, and more time at home!
