Situated in eastern Massachusetts, a 35-minute drive south of Boston, Easton is rich in history and natural beauty. Architect H.H. Richardson, who designed Trinity Church in Boston, is responsible for many of the town's distinctive stone buildings, including its library. There are no big employers in Easton, but home prices are well above the state average, thanks in part to the lure of its parks, trails and pristine ponds. -A.F.
