http://www.sharonmarealestate.com -- Tour Sharon, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
Sharon, Massachusetts has the appearance of a classic New England town, with its central Post Office Square marked by three tall white church spires and its tree-lined streets leafing green in summer and traced with delicate white lace in winter. But Sharon comes to life as a busy commuter town of professionals, academics, civil servants, and business people as well as local enterprises, restaurateurs, artists, and active participants in a network of civic organizations.
Residents of Sharon live mostly in single-family houses ranging from relatively modest ranches to luxury properties. Many townsfolk have second- and third-generation family roots in Sharon, but the town is also notable for its diversity and openness to newcomers. An Interfaith Clergy Council and an "Affirming Diversity" group foster cooperative understanding among several varieties of Christian and Jewish congregations, an Islamic mosque, and a Unitarian church, as well as adherents of Eastern religions, and the group sponsors an annual Martin Luther King Day Celebration.
The Sharon School Department oversees a high school, middle school, regional vocational school, and three elementary schools, including an Alternative School at East Elementary, all of which are committed to excellence in educating students.
Lake Massapoag is known for its concerts, fireworks, fishing and good swimming on Memorial Beach. From the 1800s until the 1940s, Sharon was a summer resort, drawing visitors to its many inns and hotels, where they would enjoy the clean air and the Lake.
Sharon proudly features the 2,250-acre Massachusetts Audubon Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary. The Community Center, a former resort hotel that the town acquired in 1967, offers activities, such as dance, karate, language lessons, chorus, chess, sports club, theater, community television, and a beach for swimming and fishing, for all ages. The Recreation Department and citizens' groups sponsor a tots' playground and several athletic leagues as well as community events like Square Jam, Fourth of July, Family Week, and First Night.
An active network of civic organizations, shared appreciation of the diversity of its population and a cherished history make Sharon a vibrant and highly livable community.
