Lexington Massachusetts is steeped in history giving the town a lot of character. Lexington has a great town center with several decent, but not exceptional, restaurants and a great brick sidewalk that makes for enjoyable summer strolls. Although Lexington is an affluent town, with an excellent school system, Lexington has a high percentage of dual-income families who depend on two incomes to live in the town. Additionally, a very large percentage of those who raise families in Lexington, stay on into their golden years and so the town has a substantial elderly population as well. Droves of tour buses arrive in the summer to learn about the Lexington Battle Green where the first shots of the revolution were heard. Only in Lexington (and perhaps neighboring Concord) do children count FIFE AND DRUM CLUB among their extra curriculum activities. Lexington has many beautiful neighborhoods, most lying inside the Route 128 beltway but with a few lying outside. Land plot sizes tend to be small compared with Weston or other affluent suburbs located further outside of the city, but homes are beautiful and often have a touch of colonial New England spirit. The wonderful Minuteman bike path also runs right through Lexington.
