The Town of Braintree is a suburban community with a strong residential
character located ten miles south of Boston. Incorporated in 1640, Braintree has a rich
history and a promising future. The town is ideally situated at the crossroads of Route
I-93 (128) and Route 3 for easy access to the Greater Boston area and Cape Cod as well as
having excellent public transportation to Boston and Logan International Airport. The
community has a good mix of established neighborhoods, small clusters of new homes and
several condominium complexes. There is a strong business base which includes one of the
largest regional shopping centers in the northeast; The South Shore Plaza. Attractive
office and industrial parks are located in the town as well, because of its ideal
location. Braintree has a rich history. Old Braintree was the birthplace of two
presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, as well as John Hancock and General Sylvanus
Thayer, the founder of West Point. Residents feel that people are attracted to Braintree
as a good place to live and work because it has an excellent public school system as well
as Thayer Academy and Archbishop Williams High School, and a fine parks and recreation
program with the availability of many recreational resources such as Town Forest , Pond
Meadow Park, Sunset Lake, Smith Beach, the Cranberry Pond Conservation District, the MDC
Blue Hills Reservation trail system, and an 18 hole public golf course. Braintree is a
mature community with a broad residential and business base that is positioned for
controlled growth in the year 2007.
