Burlington Is Close To… Well, Everywhere!
There are numerous location advantages in Burlington, MA. First of which is Burlington’s proximity to major economic hubs in the Greater Boston area, including Cambridge, Boston, and Somerville.
Getting to and from these locations is as simple as hopping on Rt. 95 and Rt. 128, both of which pass through Burlington.
