Nestled just 40 miles northwest of Boston, the picturesque town of Shirley offers a rare blend of small-town tranquility and modern convenience. With roots dating back to 1720 and official incorporation in 1753, Shirley is steeped in New England history. Strolling through the Town Center, you’ll find beautifully preserved historic homes and the iconic First Parish Meetinghouse, whose elegant white spire graces the town common. This cherished landmark, lovingly maintained by a local nonprofit, hosts a vibrant calendar of cultural and community events year-round.
Shirley is more than just a pretty place — it’s a connected and convenient community. The town shares a modern regional school system with neighboring Ayer, launched in 2011, and offers easy access to Boston via the MBTA Commuter Rail from Shirley Village or nearby Route 2 and Route 2A.
Residents enjoy a full range of municipal services, including dedicated police, fire, and highway departments, ensuring peace of mind and a well-maintained community.
A new chapter in Shirley’s story is unfolding with The Village at Shirley Station — a thoughtfully designed neighborhood of 2- and 3-bedroom townhomes that combine exceptional value with timeless style. Each home is part of a duplex, meaning every unit is an end unit, offering added privacy and natural light.
These homes feature:
• Full basements for storage or future finishing
• Painted maple cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances
• Central air conditioning and gas heating
• Modern open-concept layouts with kitchen, dining, and living areas
• Two assigned outdoor parking spaces per unit
• Located just seconds from the commuter rail and minutes from Route 2, this community is ideal for commuters and families alike.
