Worcester Suburbs

[Justin Beehler]

Hello all,

I am new to BP, the Worcester area and Real Estate Investing. I have live in Worcester for over a year now and have notice that the city and the surrounding suburbs are very different and distinct places. My question is, which area (city of Worcester, Shrewsbury, Holden, Auburn, Paxton, Sutton, West Boylston, etc.) do you prefer to do business in? and why?

Mike, as you can see from the thread above worcester is worcester and everything else is not.  the suburbs are not urban and do not offer the urban feel.  there are other places like southbridge, fitchburg which are not boston that have an urban feel, but millbury, sutton, auburn, leicester, paxton, holden, west boylston and shrewsbury that complete the loop do not.  you can do well with 3 families in worcester at a reasonable price, but you have to know the neighborhoods.  i have walked them all and see most of the inventory that comes on the market.  let me know if you would like a tour of worcester
