Help! Town of Rockland- Reviews Anyone?

[Slipknot]

My brother lives there and i grew up next town over in Abington.
Rockland is a bit more diversified than some of the other towns around it. Schools seem to be ok
taxes not bad
small town politics/the usual
housing is reasonable there.
great proximity to Boston, right off the expressway.
you must be familiar with the traffic on Rt 3 if you're considering Rockland. short commute to Quincy distance wise, but I'm not sure about time wise during normal commuting hours.

good luck

there are some members on the site from there.

Trust me--you can make it to the Canal in a lot less than 45 minutes from Rockland---unless it takes you the better part of 15 minutes to get to Rte 3.

35 minutes from Direct Buy to Scenic Highway exit off 3. We've done it several times.

Hi Mike! I lived in Abington for 5 years before we moved to Hanover 3 years ago! Rockland is smack dab in the middle! Its a good town, lots for sale there.....and from my house the Canal is only 25 minutes away and I am just a mile over the Rockland/Hanover line! Rockland is like most towns.....good points and bad points. I can't think of anything bad except the center of town is currently very depressed due to the economy ( alot of empty store fronts) but its clean, respectable, lots of good homes in the area. Stay away from anywhere closer to Weymouth....its a nightmare over there as they are widening route 18 and Gawd only knows what they are going to do with the Air Base but it will equal TRAFFIC you can bet on that! BigBo lives in Rockland and if you pm him he might be able to give you some solid information! Oh.....BigFish Bait Co. is a stones throw away too!

Good luck Mike!
