Local Climate Conditions
Acton sits inland, so winters are colder and snowier than the coast. The town gets over 50 inches of snow most years. Freeze-thaw cycles from December to March are hard on siding. There is no salt air, but trapped moisture is still a real problem if your siding is not installed right.
Housing Near 01718
Most Acton homes are colonials and garrison colonials built between the 1960s and 1980s. Newer subdivisions went up in the 1990s and 2000s. A lot of the original homes still have their first vinyl or wood clapboard siding. There are also a few old New England farmhouses from the 1800s scattered around town.
