Worcester Overview

Worcester (colloquially pronounced “Woo-ster” or “Wista”), reinvigorated on the heels of booming Healthcare and Biotech industries, is now the second most populated city in New England, behind Boston and ahead of Providence. With its roots dating back to the 1600’s, it’s one of America’s oldest communities giving it that traditional colonial feel. The city’s centrality to both Massachusetts and greater New England offers Worcester apartment residents the unique opportunity to engage in a wide array of activities both local and afar. If that’s not enough, expect to feel welcomed with a whole heart as that is the city’s official symbol.

Why live in Worcester, MA?

Worcester apartments may be the most convenient place to live within New England as it is located in the dead-center of Massachusetts making an easy trip out to Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and even Connecticut. If the location isn’t enough, then consider the expanding Biotech industry, which brings in thousands of jobs a year at both the academic and practitioner level. With the high concentration of universities (10 in total!) you can expect to be surrounded by highly educated, diverse neighbors who have relocated here from across the country.
