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 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.
