I lived there. It’s not horrible. People in the towns around it act like it’s crime capitol of the world or something but it’s really not bad. There are some quiet rural areas, decent take out options, Tree House brewing is 15 minutes away in Charlton, decent restaurants in the surrounding towns. Plus Elm Centre Cafe is an amazing breakfast spot.

But the stink is reallll near Big Y, and highway access is a huge issue. Not being close to the highway is so tedious and if you’re someone who likes to go out to bars and restaurants you’ll hate how long it’ll take just to get to Worcester.
