Wellesley is a nice quiet town that you could walk around without having to worry about being troubled. The people mind their own business and are welcome to help you any time when you need!
Wellesley is a very safe, beautiful town. The downtown area has lots to do, and it is very appealing as a current high school student.
It is a very quaint town that provides lots of opportunities for individuals and families. Lots of effort is put into cultivating a welcoming community through programs offered at the town hall and library (along with others). Could not reccommend more as a place to live in.
