Welcome to

Sharon

Sharon also has an unexpected musical connection: world-renowned conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein once called town home.

Tucked between Boston and Providence, it has a peaceful, wooded character and a strong community feel that people really connect with. The town is especially known for its top-rated public schools, which consistently rank among the best in Massachusetts and attract families from all over the region.

At the center of Sharon’s identity is Lake Massapoag—a beautiful, community gathering place where residents swim, sail, listen to outdoor summer concerts, and watch some of the best sunsets around. The lake even has a bit of history to it: in the 19th century, blocks of ice cut from Massapoag were shipped to Boston, making it an early contributor to New England’s famous ice trade.

Sharon also has an unexpected musical connection: world-renowned conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein once called town home. It’s a fun bit of local trivia that adds a layer of cultural depth to a place already rich with personality.
