Wilmington Real estate
Wilmington, Massachusetts, is a well‑established suburban town in northeastern Middlesex County, incorporated in 1730. Located about 15 miles north of Boston it covers roughly 17.2 square miles and today supports a population of over 22,000 residents. Originally a farming community famed in the 18th and 19th centuries for hop cultivation and as the birthplace of the now iconic Baldwin apple, Wilmington has evolved into a commuter friendly bedroom town while retaining touches of its historical roots.
Today, Wilmington features a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial and industrial park development, and strong regional transport links most notably two commuter rail stations and access to major highways like Interstate 93 and Routes 38, 62, 125 and 129. The town is known for its active community life: seasonal events on the Town Common, summer concerts, a robust recreation department and plentiful park space including the popular Yentile Farm Recreational Facility. Schools are well‑regarded, home values reflect the town’s appeal, and for families seeking suburban comfort with relatively easy access to Boston, Wilmington is often cited as an attractive choice.
