Wellesley Farms
The quietest corner of Wellesley — large lots, pastoral settings, and a commuter rail stop tucked among the trees.
About Wellesley Farms
Wellesley Farms feels like stepping back in time — in the best way. Named for its agricultural past, this enclave along the Charles River offers some of the most peaceful streets in town. The lots are generous, the homes are a mix of antique farmhouses (a few are genuinely 200+ years old), Colonials from the early 1900s, and tasteful new construction. The Wellesley Farms commuter rail stop is a quiet platform where you'll recognize the same faces every morning. If the rest of Wellesley is a town, Wellesley Farms is a village within it.
Property Character
