Situated at the junction of Routes 119 and 13, with rural New Hampshire bordering us to the North, Lunenburg and Fitchburg to the South, Ashby on the West side, and Groton and Pepperell to the East, Townsend is uniquely placed between the rural and the suburban, and has characteristics of both. A strong independent streak characterizes many of our citizens, and the town is quite egalitarian. Growth is controlled by well thought out bylaws, standard zoning is 2 or 3 acres minimum per lot, Town Water in some locations, no Town Sewer. Good access to Routes 2, 495, 101 and the commuter rail, so you can get to where you need to go. And if that's not enough, there are always the Atwood Cuties....
