Yup - I actually live in the woods near Concord where Thoreau used to wander (Walden pond is round the corner). It's very nice. Good schools. You can get pizza delivered.
People say "Oh, but surely it's changed a lot since Thoreau's day", but honestly - we're talking about Concord. The town was founded in 1635, it was already 200 years old when Thoreau moved into a hut on his buddy Emerson's land. The Boston and Maine rail line past Walden Pond was already running when Thoreau moved in, for goodness' sake.
