<p>The neighborhood is active with progressive dinners, and Halloween parades among other holiday parties for adults and kids alike.</p>
<p>Further along Glen Road lies Hopkinton Ridge, an adjacent neighborhood of an additional 36 homes, so together <strong>Wildwood Glen</strong> and Hopkinton Ridge make quite a sizeable development with sidewalks throughout.</p>
