It is easily accessible to commuter rail nexuses and also serviced by GATRA bus service, all of which make it an easy commute to Boston or Providence.

The Town has supported the major rebuilding of Anna Ware Jackson Elementary, a pre-K to Grade 3 school, as well as a new Beatrice Wood School, a Grade 4 to 6 school. Students matriculate to the King Philip Regional System, a newly rebuilt middle school, and a high school that is undergoing total renovation.

Plainville is a well-kept secret in a part of the country where urban sprawl is endemic. It is a wonderful place in which to grow up and to grow old. Plainville is a special place for all who have lived here.
