Most would say Norwood is a welcoming, down to earth, blue collar town, either before or after saying it’s one of the best places to find a new vehicle. Norwood is an average sized town with A LOT of retail (mainly along Rt 1) that is frequented by the surrounding areas near and far. Being just about the same size as Westwood, with double the people, results in a denser feel to the town. There are some small parks and playgrounds to enjoy, and even a community garden, but that’s the extent of the green space. Rt 1 has a decent business presence with many global and national companies satellite offices. Norwood has their own electric and cable/internet service only offered to residents, operated by the town. Traditionally, Norwood residents stay in their homes the same as the average homeowner.
