Acton Named One Of 'Hottest Towns' For Millennials

ACTON, MA — Acton is a big hit with the younger crowd. Or, at least, it probably should be. The town was named by Boston Magazine as a hot spot for millennials.

Boston Magazine posted its list of "The Hottest Towns For Every Generation" and Acton made the list for millennials in hot towns of the west. The magazine cited the town's trendy, fair-trade coffee shop, craft brewery and barre studio. The open space and abundance of colonial homes make for a picturesque place for the family.

The town's proximity to Concord was also listed as a plus. "Itching for some fresh air? Hop onto the area’s recently expanded rail trail or bike to neighboring Concord, where you can enjoy the quaint downtown without paying the high prices to live there," Boston Magazine said.
