Five-time winner of the All American City Award. Second largest city in New England. Worcester is a great place to live and work. Those who live here know all about Worcester's gravitational pull. People who come tend to stay. People who leave seem to always be drawn back.
Worcester's central location in the Heart of the Commonwealth makes it ideal for visits to favorite New England attractions. It's only a 45-minute drive to Boston, an hour to Newport, 90 minutes to Cape Cod, and 3 hours to NYC. Home to ten colleges and universities, the majestic mountains and pristine lakes of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine are an easy and popular day trip.
Life in Worcester is affordable..a real urban environment without the hassles of the big city. From minor-league baseball teams like the Worcester Tornadoes to the eloquent Worcester Art Museum, we've got it all here in Worcester!
