Calling Framingham Home
-
Framingham has become a destination city that many of us love to call home - either because we live here, work here, and in many cases we live and work here! In our melting pot of a community, you will find a mixture of cultures and languages, which also inspires a variety of restaurants offering cuisines from around the world. This is just one thing that makes our city unique and a fun place to grow and explore.
Large and small businesses have also chosen to call Framingham home. Whether you’re driving down Route 9 or through our revitalized downtown area, you will find both long-standing and new retail and service-based businesses that meet all of your needs.
Located between Worcester and Boston, if Framingham doesn’t have the amenities you are looking for, it is only a short drive away or a quick ride on the MTA public transportation system. The city of Framingham has the ability to feel like a city, suburb, or rural living location - all you have to do is drive a few miles down the road.
