Tewksbury is a great choice for anyone who works from home and doesn’t mind a little cold. And why should you? While commuters here travel an average 34 minutes each way, you won’t need to trudge through the 43 inches of snow a year, much less leave the toasty comforts of your Massachusetts home.

In Tewksbury, 82% of homes are owner-occupied, which comes with its benefits. Homeowners are thought to be extra committed to keeping local streets clean, safe, and friendly. That’s especially valuable in these times: After Maryland, Massachusetts is home to more households with an employee working remotely as a result of the pandemic than any other state in the U.S.

Home prices here are reasonable for the area and homeowners are profiting from their purchases. An index measuring the interest in buying a house here, showed that Tewksbury was an outlier in terms of the number of views properties were getting on listing site Realtor.com, when compared to the rest of the country. And sales prices were up 16.6% from the first quarter of 2018 to the same time in 2020, which is more than any other city on our list or any other city Money analyzed in Massachusetts.
