Wayland is an affluent suburban community with superb schools!

Selling Homes Massachusetts The town of Wayland, west of Boston in Middlesex County, was originally settled in 1673 as part of the Sudbury Plantation. The town is now an affluent suburban community within easy commuting distance of Boston.

The town was named after Francis Wayland, a preacher and president of Brown University, who established the first free library in 1848.

The school system is also a source of pride to the community and is regularly ranked as one of the top ten school systems in Massachusetts.

Wayland is primarily residential but recently opened the long-awaited Wayland Town Center to provide numerous shopping venues and restaurants.
