Summer Band concerts on the common, fairs and bazaars, church suppers, a colorful Board of Selectmen, entertaining Town Meetings, good schools, great people and so much conservation land, it could hold a whole community - these are some of the attributes that make Townsend a great place to live, work and raise children. Rich in history, Townsend is a flourishing hub of Antiques shops.  The Squannacook River, a premier cold water fishery, meanders its way through town, and there are many opportunities for recreation, or just to enjoy the peace and beauty of this languid waterway.

Situated at the junction of Routes 119 and 13, with rural New Hampshire bordering us to the North, Lunenburg and Fitchburg to the South, Ashby on the West side, and Groton and Pepperell to the East, Townsend is uniquely placed between the rural and the suburban, and has characteristics of both. A strong independent streak characterizes many of our citizens, and the town is quite egalitarian. Growth is controlled by well thought out bylaws, standard zoning is 2 or 3 acres minimum per lot, Town Water in some locations, no Town Sewer. Good access to Routes 2, 495, 101 and the commuter rail, so you can get to where you need to go. And if that's not enough, there are always the Atwood Cuties....
