Wellesley, the town

Also known as the Ville. All the books, clothes, sushi, coffee, organic produce, and mom-and-pop restaurants—y’know, the necessities—right at your fingertips in a downtown that’s tidy, safe, and sweet. There are no skyscrapers in Wellesley (but if you want the big city, Boston’s just a short ride away!). Yet there is a quality that the town’s founders tried to capture when they first named it: contentment.
