Scituate was included in a group of 14 Greater Boston communities that aren’t especially well-known and don’t typically makes these types of lists, the magazine said.
According to the magazine, “A wave of development on Scituate Harbor, including retail, office, and condo projects, has suddenly energized the waterfront. In 2009 three local families reopened the 29-room Inn at Scituate Harbor, and its Dogwatch bar attracts weekend crowds.”
The median home price in Scituate rose 2 percent in the last year to $437,000, the magazine said.

The magazine says it consulted area real estate agents, town officials, and residents to come up with the list. It also published a separate list of the area’s wealthier communities, which didn’t include any South Shore towns, and said that Wellesley ranked No. 1.
Others on the list include East Boston (“an adventurous eater’s paradise”), Acton (“a suburban town with a global vibe”), Plymouth (its high school is “a high-tech masterpiece”) and Northborough (the proximity to Wegman’s).
