Considered part of the MetroWest region of Massachusetts, the town shares borders with several others, including Sherborn, Hopkinton, Framingham and Holliston. Largely suburban in nature, it is dominated more by neighborhoods of single-family homes than anything else. However, if you’re looking for an apartment, condo or even a townhouse here, we can assist you with that too.

On average, there are typically around 50 properties for sale in this area at any particular time. Part of the reason that the number is somewhat high is because they tend to linger on the market for a while lately.

This of course is more of a problem for sellers than for buyers, and it often means that you can easily negotiate your way to a spectacular deal.

• Single-family homes – The overwhelming majority of residential properties in this town are single-family homes, or detached homes.

• Townhouses and condos – With around 17 percent of all residential properties classified as townhouses and condos, this is a great area to find these kinds of properties. As with most communities, the majority of these properties are put for sale on the market and not for rent. If you need to rent a property like this, however, don’t worry. We’ll put you in touch with a local real estate expert who can help you find what you need. Note that our database includes listings for properties for rent as well as for sale.
• Apartments – Unlike so many communities around Massachusetts, Ashland isn’t the place to find apartments for rent. Only around 14 percent of residential properties here are classified as apartments, so it’s safe to say that the picking are usually slim. If you absolutely need to rent an apartment here, you’ll be pleased to know that it is far more affordable than in other parts of the state. Where the statewide average rent is around $2,500 per month, in Ashland it’s only around $1,850 per month.
