The BUILDING DEPARTMENT/ANTOINETTE REFUSE TO GIVE ME A PERMIT TO FIX MY NO HOT WATER AND NO HEAT... ANTOINETTE HER HIGHNESS AT THE DPW SEEM TO RUN THE TOWN..because I owed a trash in water bill that I was chipping away at. My 501c3 serving every race color and Creed in the state for decades was robbed so fundraising has been low since covid.. not one person in the town cared except the deputy chief who helped. The chief told me it was Antoinette and Chris at the council on aging the new immigrant that were running the show.. communism is here in Sharon. Not one official helped accept the deputy chief. read more

Town of Sharon - Happy Father's Day to all the good Fathers... - Town Hall Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

See all

Seniors are treated terribly here. As a 40-year resident paying my taxes I am now being shut off my hot water and heat by the town of Sharon who refused to give a building permit to a heating company to replace my lemon Bo. I have contacted every single official in the town and no one will help. I have no heat and no hot water and I'm a senior. They don't care they abuse seniors especially at the council on aging . The saying goes you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig. On the feast of Pentecost of the Holy Spirit I decree and declare Justice.. in Jesus name I pray this is racism retaliation I have contacted rep Phillips and state senator Ed markey who do nothing.. this is all because I reported pedophilia in the town of Sharon... I submitted photos of child grooming camps to the police and this is how I'm being treated now... God will have his Justice Holy Spirit come! Antoinette at the DPW is the nastiest and so is Chris Sanchez council on aging immigrant who started this whole thing... read more

We are a multiracial family and have experienced multiple incidents of racism living here. We keep to ourselves now and we don't go out on the town. They're mean and generational and I would urge you to find other towns that are friendlier Jewish communities. We attend a synagogue elsewhere where we have found more normal minded Jewish people. There's something inherently wrong with this town. I have a dear neighbor who is Muslim and has been told my people in this town that she really should not be wearing a hijab. Very inappropriate. Another time, my sister in law who is black got, stared down by a white woman, and when I posted the photo on social media, everyone tried to blame her elderly mindset instead of addressing the racist comments this woman made. Seriously, pick any other town. All you honestly have to do is Google Sharon Massachusetts racism. There was a lawsuit as well as a piece done with about 80 different people. read more

One of the best things about Sharon is the annual Independence Day Fireworks display and carnival at the ever popular Lake Massapoag - great for boating and fishing, light on the swimming due to the muck in the water. Definitely a small town, Sharon has a relatively diverse population (several Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities centers). It also ranks high in gay family friendliness with a welcoming Unitarian Universalist Church right in the center of town. The town center has a post office, two classic New England churches, the town library, two small bank branches, a former-Starbucks-turned-French cafe, and a lot of trees. Also, two restaurants are worth mentioning: Pizzagando in the center of town has some decent NY style pizza, which is rare in New England, and Alice's Mandarin Taste is the best Chinese food outside of Boston, and they offer a gluten free menu, too. Down the road there is also Ward's Berry Farm, a popular local destination for picking your own fruit and picking up a few local organic supplies inside the main building. The Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary and Borderland State Park, each huge reserves of land on opposite sides of Sharon, keep the town quietly nestled away from nearby Rt 95 and the busier parts of neighboring towns: Stoughton, Canton, Easton, Mansfield, Foxboro and Walpole. Despite the quiet life, living in Sharon allows you to be less than 20 min from: IKEA, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Big Y, Shaws, Stop and Shop, Home Depot, Apple Store, British Beer Company, TD Bank, Bank of America, Norwood Hospital, Sharon Veterinary Clinic, gas stations and fast food on Rt 1, and two major movie complexes in Dedham and Foxboro in addition to the local 8 screen movie house (aptly named Sharon 8). There's a parking lot ($4/day or monthly pass) at the Sharon commuter rail station, but a lot of residents just walk using the numerous sidewalks if they live anywhere near the center of town. 20 min later you're in downtown Boston - pretty sweet. Halfway between Boston and Providence, R.I., Sharon was established in 1673. In 2011 Sharon was voted #11 in Money Magazine's Top 100 Places to Live (in the U.S. - not just in MA) read more

This town has a great education system. BUT... It's main tourist attraction, Lake Massapoag, does not live up to the hype. Uncomfortable sand, way to much little children, and a quote on quote "parking lot" that is overdue on a remodel. Roads need to be redone. Some not even done at all. It's really just that lake that bothers me. The town is built around the lake, and the lake is disgusting. The budget for FY 2017 $78,817,048. $41,263,961 for the school department. If anyone can find where it says recreational space maintenance in "townofsharon.net/sites/sharonma/files/pages/warrant_-_2016_atm.pdf", I'd like to know. read more
