Know your Hudson home
Hudson has a compact downtown with older single- and two-family homes, plus mid-century and newer single-family neighborhoods.
Hudson grew along the Assabet River, and its compact downtown is surrounded by older single- and two-family homes, with newer neighborhoods toward Lake Boon and the Marlborough line. Lake-area homes converted from seasonal cottages often need insulation brought up to year-round standards.
From the inner suburbs to MetroWest, Middlesex County homes range from 19th-century two-families to large newer colonials, each with different weak spots.

Climate & code
Climate zone 5A targets
Homes in Hudson sit in climate zone 5A, where ENERGY STAR suggests R-49 to R-60 in the attic. Settled or missing insulation is common in older buildings. Many Massachusetts towns have adopted the Stretch Energy Code or the Specialized Opt-in Code, which raise insulation and air-sealing requirements for new construction and major renovations.
