16. Acton, MA
With its myriad landmarks from the American Revolution and its 1,600 acres of conservation land, Acton has a traditional New England vibe. But it's also a highly diverse town with a large Asian community and a nonprofit Chinese-language school.
The town's progressive school system is ranked among the best in the state. Jobs are relatively stable here, thanks to large area employers Bristol-Myers Squibb and Cisco. Many residents commute into Boston by rail. --R.G. Is Acton a great town, or what?
