The Town of Wayland is an upscale peaceful community located in MetroWest situated at the halfway point between Boston and Worcester, with easy access to both areas. While Wayland is conveniently located in an area that provides easily accessible shopping, sightseeing, dining and entertainment, Wayland itself remains a quiet bedroom community in a semi-rural setting with little industrial or commercial base.

Wayland is the home to many urban professionals due in part to its peaceful setting and its close proximity to the City of Boston. In addition to that, Wayland is an ideal community to raise a family as Wayland's School System is known as one of the finest school systems in the state, with a wide variety of althletic and scholastic resources for its students. In addition to it's well-regarded public services, Wayland has taken many steps to preserve forests, marshes and fields that surround the Sudbury River and provides its residents an opportunity to enjoy these areas for passive recreation.
