The Boston Globe, April 15, 2007, featured the Metro West Suburbs and other Massachusetts suburbs in a feature article of the top wealthy zip codes. Wellesley offers two zip codes, 02481 and 02482 both provide beautiful areas and lots of amenities. A major attraction for this community is the convenient access to Boston both via public transportation (commuter train) and car. Wellesley has 3 train stops: Wellesley Hills, Wellesley Farms and Wellesley Square.

Today, August 6th is a terrific day!  For 28 years ago, on a Wednesday at approximately 3:09 pm, my world rocked, pivoted, and then turned upside down. At 3:08 pm I was one year out of Babson College, working downtown in finance at Boston Safe Deposit & Trust Co..  I was a happy guy with an incredible wife and a career in the making.  I was just a guy from Wellesley on the journey of life.   And then at 3:09 pm - BOOM!! I was no longer just a guy - I became a DAD! It was like becoming a rock star! Such a thrill; such excitement; such LOVE! August 6th. . . The best day of my life.   So here's a shout out to my daughter Jacie. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART !!!       My kayak buddy, fellow Babson alum, and...you guessed it!  She's in real estate!  Jacie is the strategic marketing analyst for P...

          When the COTTAGE restaurant came to Wellesley, many townspeople eagerly tried the cuisine offered by the newest restaurant in town.   http://www.cottagewellesley.com/ The first reports were not kind; mediocre food, mediocre service. The location on Linden St. was great!  Good parking, convenient for when you're out shopping - the COTTAGE got high marks. Understandably, there were kinks that needed to be ironed out.  New restaurants need time to get up and running and people were understanding. Then recently, a couple of favorable reviews indicated that the COTTAGE had improved and was worthy of a second visit. So this Top Wellesley Realtor decided the time was right to embark on an outing to the handsomely decorated COTTAGE.  Mid-summer is a terrific time to better enjoy subur...

          "What would Jesus Do?" A food critic once stated that a FROZEN CUSTARD STAND is "where God goes to get his ice cream!" So says the website of Abbott's Frozen Custard based in Rochester, N.Y. www.abbottscustard.com       And now apparently, God is getting his frozen custard fix in Needham!!       The first frozen custard stand in Massachusetts has opened on Great Plain Ave. in Needham, and at the helm is former NATICK resident and Sherborn mother of three, Mary Pat Dauria.       Mary Pat originally hails from Rochester and she reports that a plethora of local citizens from the Rochester area have already stopped by her Abbott's Frozen Custard Stand.       "We've been really busy," Mary Pat revealed during a recent visit to her fabulous new shop. Open for only a scant few weeks,...

Last week I started looking for a place to work out and lose a few pounds like the rest of us.  I did a search on Boot Camp Wellesley and came across this site www.BostonAdventureBootCamp.com. The classes started on Monday July 14th.  The class runs for 4 weeks from 5:30am - 6:30am. They have a 5-day class and a 3-day class.  They are absolutely fantastic way to get in shape with people who have the same goals.  I would recommend this class to anyone who wants some motivation to get up and get your work-out OVER or to get together with a bunch of women all striving to get in shape, stay in shape or whatever they want from the class. It is really awesome.  We are starting our 2nd week and it doesn't hurt so bad. Still can't get used to waking up at 4:45am to get going.  But we will see s...

  I love the ocean.  I love real estate, but I LOVE the ocean. All my life, I've marked each important milestone with a song by the Beach Boys.  I left Wellesley High behind, to "Graduation Day."  I enjoyed my summers to the sounds of "Fun, Fun, Fun," I whiled away many a monent to  "California Girls;" and I knew I'd met the girl who'd become my wife as we cruised off the coast of Long Beach to the tune of "Sloop John B."   Well,  my home town became the scene of many of  my lifelong fantasies when the Beach Boys turned up in Wellesley this past week to "rock out."  The home team turned out in droves, and even though the band is not quite the original Beach Boys, they sang the memories of our youth.   Kids danced,  parents grooved, and the boys from the class of Wellesley High '73 came...
