Living in Foxborough, Massachusetts
Foxborough, settled in 1704 and incorporated in 1778, built its early economy on straw-hat manufacturing — the Union Straw Works on Wall Street was once among the largest operations of its kind — and later on precision instruments, with The Foxboro Company (now a Schneider Electric facility) founded here in 1908. The town is best known today for Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution, and the adjacent Patriot Place shopping and entertainment complex. The Neponset River rises at the Neponset Reservoir near the stadium and runs northeast toward Boston Harbor, and the F. Gilbert Hills State Forest spreads more than 1,000 acres of trails across Foxborough and Wrentham. The historic Town Common, more than three centuries old, still hosts summer concerts at its bandstand. Foxboro station on the MBTA Franklin/Foxboro Line began regular weekday service in 2019, U.S. Route 1 and Route 140 cross the town with I-95 just west, and Boston lies about 22 miles northeast, Providence about 25 miles south. If you're thinking about buying or selling in Foxborough, I'd be glad to help — in English or Spanish.
