Woburn
Once known as one of the country’s largest producers
of roses, Woburn is conveniently located at the junction
of Routes 128 (I-95) and I-93, just ten miles north of downtown
Boston. This pleasant 360-year-old history-rich city with
a population of about 37,000 is bordered by historic Lexington
and Burlington to the west, Stoneham to the east, and Winchester
to the south.
Value
The 2002 median value of single family homes was a reasonable
$257,800. Residential property taxes are a mere $9.02 per
year (among the very lowest in the state) per $1,000 assessed
violation. In school, the per pupil annual expenditure is
$4,945. Two of Woburn’s public elementary schools were
recently cited among the top ten 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.
History
Woburn opened its first truly public library in 1856, but
the library’s history actually began over 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.
Easy
Access
Why not move your business (and perhaps your family, too)
to Woburn, conveniently located at the commercial crossroads
of Greater Boston, the junction of 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 to and from downtown Boston (including
North 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!
