<h1 style="text-align: center;">Groveland, <em>Boston</em></h1>
<p>Thirty-one miles north of Boston, Groveland is the perfect picture of a small, friendly New England town. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Not too long ago, Groveland was a broad agricultural community. &nbsp;This began to change dramatically in the 1960&rsquo;s when large housing developments began to dominate the landscape. &nbsp;Today, this area is thoroughly residential and provides a suburban oasis for commuters to nearby Lynn and Boston. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The residents of Groveland boast strong community ties. &nbsp;Family activities are among the most popular in this town, which is peppered with soccer and baseball fields. &nbsp;Visitors may often see families gathered in local parks and picnic areas or boating on the Merrimack River during the summer. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Homebuyers interested in becoming heavily involved in community activities are well suited for life in Groveland. &nbsp;The open town meeting is a treasured local tradition, residents calling it &ldquo;the fairest form of town government.&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>
<p>The Dr. Elmer S. Bagnall Elementary School, the only school located within town limits, is the pride of the locals, though. &nbsp;It hosts the Groveland Summer Recreation Program, a non-profit summer day camp for students between the ages of 6 and 15. &nbsp;The Pentucket Regional Middle and High Schools are located in nearby West Newbury.</p>
