I live in a beautiful neighborhood in Fitchburg. There are some sad places within the city but every old mill city has that issue. I have never been the victim of a crime and I have lived here most of my life. My car has never been broken into, my house has never been broken into, I’ve never been robbed, etc. Worst thing that has happened is I’ve been hounded at Market Basket for change but that has also happened in Westford so it happens anywhere.

Schools suck but if you don’t have kids who cares?

Wachusett Brewery is a fun place, River Styx is great too. Leominster has some awesome food and the proximity to Worcester is great. People saying you can’t find something for $1200 aren’t looking. My friend just found a nice one bedroom in an ok area for $950, all hardwood floors, insulated, and brand new windows and doors. It may seem weird noting insulation but that is something to consider! Old apartments are often not insulated so keep that in mind.
