About Worcester
A City on the Rise
Affectionately known as the “Heart of the Commonwealth,” Worcester is the second largest city in New England and its location in Central Massachusetts boasts the benefits of both urban and rural living. It is a city with a quirky young vibe, thanks in part to it being home to 9 colleges and universities, and it is in the midst of a transformative revival. Worcester's central location also means easy access to the cultural attractions of Boston and Providence, the pristine beaches of Cape Cod, skiing in New Hampshire, hiking in Vermont and camping in Maine. Worcester and the surrounding towns offer highly affordable housing with outstanding K12 educational systems, in a state that ranks 1st in the nation for education by U.S. News & World Report
NPR recently named Worcester “the new ‘it’ town.”
