About the Area
If you are looking for the warmth of a small town and the benefits of a big city without the drawbacks, and easy access to all the outdoor recreation New England has to offer, welcome to Worcester.

With a population of over 650,000, we are the second largest city in New England, and have a lot going on. As home to fifteen colleges and universities, we've got energy, ideas and activities all around. With Worcester being the seventh most diverse community in the country, you will find quite a variety of social, cultural and dining experiences as well as an abundance of performing groups and artists of many disciplines from which to choose. We have world renowned museums, galleries, theater and dance. Year round you will find cultural events that are truly striking for a community of our size.

We are centrally located in the heart of New England - approximately an hour from Boston, Newport and Providence RI, and Hartford, CT and within 1-2 hours of what VT, NH and ME all have to offer. From mountain biking and rock-climbing just outside town to scenic Cape Cod and wintertime fun, we have the outdoor lifestyle perfect for you and your family.

Our community and surrounding area offers all of the "four-season" activities from summer beachside resorts to springtime walks at the botanical gardens and fall apple picking and hiking, to winter skiing and snowboarding.

Come take a look - we'd love to have you.
