Foxborough

Greater Boston · pop. 18,484

Gillette Stadium is the most obvious thing about Foxborough but it is not the most important thing. The town has a walkable historic district, A- schools, and commuter rail on game days and weekday rush hours that make it more connected than its southern Norfolk County location would suggest.
