The Community
Small-Town Living in MetroWest
Medway sits along the Charles River between Milford and Millis, a former mill town that has grown into a residential community of neighborhoods, ballfields, and conservation land.
Families are drawn by the well-regarded Medway Public Schools, the town's recreation programs, and quick access to I-495 and Route 109 for commuting in any direction.
Why Medway
Things To Do in Medway
Weekends in Medway mean concerts and skating at Choate Park, trails through the town's conservation land, youth sports at the Oakland Street fields, and the seasonal farmers market and town celebrations.
Choate Park
The town's gathering place — a pond, playground, bandstand, and summer concert series in the heart of Medway.
Medway Public Schools
Burke-Memorial and McGovern Elementary, Medway Middle School, and Medway High School serve the town with consistently strong results.
Mill Town Heritage
Historic mill buildings and 18th- and 19th-century homes along the Charles River tell the story of Medway's industrial past.
