Towns

Here's a true statement for many people, Massachusetts residents included. Life nowadays brings the word "stressful" to a whole new level.

After growing up in New Hampshire and living in Maine for the last 25 years, you'd think I’d heard of every town by now—but nope. Turns out, Maine and New Hampshire share at least seven town names. Same name, totally different personalities.

Sure, Massachusetts is well known for having a wealth of history, especially when it comes to the U.S. But what about having ne of the most underrated historic small cities in the world? We didn't necessarily expect that, but we'll take it! So, of all the spots in Massachusetts that have had such a unique, where in the Bay State could this spot possibly be?

Massachusetts has plenty of unique towns throughout the entire state. Not just that, but really some of the most unique towns throughout the entire New England region. Some of those towns have some of the more quirky and/or one-of-a-kind attractions that you won't find anywhere else. Thanks to this fact, it seems that more specifically, two of the most eccentric towns throughout all of New England are right here in Massachusetts.

We all know that Massachusetts has an incredibly rich history. It may also be pretty common knowledge that the oldest city in the Bay State is Plymouth. However, over on the western side of the state, it's not nearly as much of a known face just how old some of these towns in the Berkshires are.

The New England states are some of the most densely populated throughout the U.S. This happens to include our very own state, Massachusetts. You might expect any town throughout the New England region to have a relatively decent population. In fact, in New England, there are 236.9 people per square mile on average, which is much higher than the national average of 79.56 people per square mile. However, despite being the most populated of all the New England states, Massachusetts has a town with a population that is even less than the national average of people per square mile.

Hard to believe that anyplace in New England is 'affordable,' especially if you're shopping for a place to live, but these two New Hampshire towns made the Top 20 list in all of New England

Wait, how do you pronounce that again?

If you’re dreaming of the perfect home in a relaxing, picturesque Maine town, we have plenty of options.
