Westford's a decent little colonial-era town located right off I-495 (interstate highway running a huge semi-circle around Boston). If you get to Westford, you must be visiting someone or getting gas/food from the highway. There's no other real reason to go there. Nice place to raise a family / grow up. Not much else to say. If you do have some time though, take an afternoon to explore East Boston camps at the end of Depot St. There's some excellent nature and a nice pond there.
The town center is just about the only place to snap a nice picture of the town, with several 200+ year old buildings and a quintessential New England town common. Some time at the end of the century, they are planning to open the time capsule we burried there while I was at Frost Elementary School in the 80s. If this page is still around in the 2080's make sure to mark that on your calendar! |

| Pros: | "laid back, safe, still enough forest to get away" | | Cons: | "no public transit, not too much for young adults to do, forest slowly disapearing to new ridiculously huge housing developments" |
