Most of the homes in Downtown Framingham are located in a small neighborhood off of one of the area’s two main roads. These houses vary in size and style including 3-4 bedroom Colonials as well as 2-3 bedroom Capes and ranches. Those looking for something a little cozier can take a look at one of the nearby condominium complexes such as Bishop Terrace and Pelham Apartment.

Bishop Terrace, a condominium complex with 2-3 bedroom condos, is also in this region of the city. Most of the neighborhoods throughout this area have very little through-traffic, paved sidewalks, and streetlamps.

Waushakum Pond and Farm Pond, the two largest ponds in Downtown Framingham, are excellent places to fish or take a canoe or kayak out on the water.
