What Hudson homes need
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.
In western Middlesex County, many homes were built during the post-war and 1980s building booms, and their original insulation has settled over the decades.
