Hundreds of years ago, the entire town of Sharon was a summer resort where people would come and enjoy the clean air and the Massapoag Lake.Why live here? Sharon is truly "A nice place to live because it's naturally beautiful." Living up to its motto, Sharon is an endless source of entertainment opportunities and the most important place to enjoy them is Lake Massapoag -- which is well known for an array of concerts, fireworks, swimming and fishing. Nestled between Boston and Providence, Sharon is a medium-sized town with a population of 17,408 of proud inhabitants occupying 24.2 square miles of land.

Rental MarketBefore committing to a lease, there are a couple of things you should know. Sharon's real estate market has a vacancy rate of 6.2 percent, which is low compared with other cities in US. This means that the prices may be significantly higher than comparable areas. If you dreamed about a home with utilities included, keep dreaming your sweet dreams. Unfortunately, you will most likely need to pay your own utilities -- but don't let that put you off from this New England town. If you find your ideal rental apartment in Sharon, a few utilities are a small price to pay!Searching For a HomeWhile there are few vacancies, keep your chin up, because they do indeed exist. Drive around the city, look for "For Rent" signs, or stop by a real estate agent. Another important factor to consider is the weather. While summer months are warm or even insanely hot, winters can be a bit cold. Keeping that in mind, in winter you might be able to find a deal on an apartment for rent.CommutingDo you love to drive? No? Perhaps it's time to revisit the joys of being behind the wheel. The residents of Sharon have a fairly long commute on average. Expect to spend 45-60 minutes commuting to work each way in nearby Boston or Providence. However, many residents do take the train.Lease DayWhat do you need to get a place to rent? Bring checkbook, the first month's rent and deposit, and don't forget your proof of income! No one wants a tenant who can't pay rent on time.
