Sharon Voted Number One Town In America

Sharon was listed as the top place to live in the country in Money Magazine's September issue.

Sharon was voted Money Magazine's best place to live in America in its September issue. 

Among the reasons listed for the ranking are Sharon's diversity in public school--30 percent non-white--40 percent open space, including Lake Massapoag, and it's proximity to both Boston and Providence via train. 

It is also "surrounded by a wealth of good jobs in Boston, Providence, and the Route 128 tech corridor," which insulated Sharon from the worst of the recessions and has helped with a rapid recovery.
