About North
Lexington
North Lexington, located between Lexington Center and Bedford, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lexington neighborhood with wooded conservation land and a low-rise village strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Massachusetts Avenue and Woburn Street junction, where independent cafés, small restaurants, and everyday shops line the sidewalks. Wilson Farm anchors local routines with its market, bakery cases, and seasonal greenhouse bustle. The Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library adds a distinctive cultural stop with rotating exhibitions. Housing reads as classic New England—Colonials, Capes, and mid-century splits—set along curving streets that meet trailheads and playing fields. Minuteman Bikeway access shapes daily movement, linking rides and walks toward town centers and beyond.
