Weston is a historic city, officially over 300 years old, that has endeavored to keep its quiet, semi-rural atmosphere.

However, residents of Weston do not lack modern conveniences or infrastructure. For example, the I-95 Highway runs past the eastern boundary of Weston, and the I-90 runs through the southern portion, ensuring easy and quick access to surrounding areas and the city of Boston to the east. A light rail line runs through the northeastern portion of Weston with three stations: Silver Hill, Hastings, and Kendal Green.

Neighboring communities include Wayland to the west, Wellesley to the south, Waltham and Newton to the east, and Lincoln to the north.

The most convenient commercial options are located just beyond the northeastern corner of Weston. This area includes a Home Depot and a Costco Wholesale.

The Weston real estate market includes a fine selection of large and luxurious single-family homes. Many of these occupy large properties surrounded by trees, guaranteeing a secluded and private atmosphere.

There are also a variety of styles on offer, including a mix of old Colonial designs with Dutch, Shingle, Cottage, and Georgian inspirations.

The most luxurious estates boast homes over 10,000 square feet in size, although a large proportion of the homes for sale in Weston are more than 5,000 square feet.

These homes are connected by long winding streets (many of which are officially designated as "scenic routes" by the government of Massachusetts), parks, and multi-use trails.
