Athol, Massachusetts is up and coming with new shopping centers, restaurants, schools, and emergency services all built within the last few years.  Perks of our area include a lower cost of living and a smaller town feel with the amenities of a more suburban area.  We are very close to the Quabbin Reservoir and Tully Lake offering many opportunities for hiking, kayaking, fishing, and other outdoor recreation.  Soaking up the sun on a beach or skiing down a mountain is a short drive away.
