Tour Foxborough, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.Foxborough, Massachusetts is a growing community known to its residents as "the gem of Norfolk County." The town is the home of the New England Patriots National Football League franchise. The beloved Patriots have played at Foxborough Stadium and then at Gilette Stadium (which replaced it in 2002) on Route One since the former's opening in 1972. Foxborough Harness Raceway, adjacent to the stadium, is the only New England track that hosts harness racing. This facility has been a fixture since the early 1940s. While Foxborough is proud of these and other high profile businesses, the town also prides itself on its rural atmosphere. Foxborough has been extremely successful in maintaining its small-town image and rural characteristics while providing for significant growth. Foxborough boasts a significant amount of protected land, including the 700-acre Foxborough State Forest and an additional 1700 acres owned by the town. Foxborough prides itself on a long-standing sense of community rooted in its close-knit neighborhoods. Civic and sports organizations also play a major role in promoting and maintaining community spirit. Annual festivities include Founder's Day, complete with a parade and high school band, a haunted house and pancake breakfast; events such as this are attended by thousands. The continued success of many fund-raising events is just one example of Foxborough's civic pride. Residents are particularly proud of the fact that Foxborough High School is renowned for its strong sports tradition, with the football team a perennial contender for the Division Championship.For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
