Natick Ranked Among Top 25 Places to Live in Mass.

Natick made GoLocal's third annual list ranking Massachusetts communities.

GoLocalWorcester this week announced its third annual Best Communities in Massachusetts List. The list, said GoLocal, was devised by mixing stats of affordability, economic condition, education, arts and culture, and safety. 

Boston came in first in this year's list. 

Natick came in at number 24 on the list.  "Every year on Patriot’s Day, thousands of residents and visitors come to watch miles 8 through 12 of the Boston Marathon, which run through the town," writes GoLocalWorcester. "It is also home to one of the oldest operating ten-stool diners in the U.S. - Casey’s Diner, which is famous for its steamed hot dogs."

According to GoLocal's statistics, Natick has a median house price of $370,000 and a population of just over 33,000. In its education ranking, it came in at 29.
