I have always felt that Hamilton's strong sense of community was a major factor for living here. From Town Meetings to Town Boards to local vendors to community groups and neighbors, Hamilton is a friendly, active, involved and caring community. Hamilton has character.

I think Hamilton is the epitome of small town New England. It is a great place to raise kids. The parks and open space are great and you can actually buy a home with a decent amount of land. I like the fact it is not so fast paced and if I need that, Boston is only a half hour away.

Another Best of Hamilton: Crosby's Marketplace! More and more organics. Four fresh soups every day. Amazing salad bar. The friendliest employees and, of course, Steve Bean.
