About the area
 |
With a population of over 170 thousand, Worcester is the second largest city in New England, and the cultural hub of Central Mass.
From family friendly dining to upscale restaurants, to a thriving nightlife, Worcester has something for everyone. With a rich local history and entertainment such as the DCU Center, one of New England's largest concert venues. Or, if you'd prefer something a bit more serene, Worcester also is home to a dozen local parks, where you can view the natural beauty of the area.
From local public schools to higher education, Worcester is also home to an unmatched array of schools and colleges for all ranges of educational and career opportunities.
A good mix of comfortable urban convenience and classic New England small-town appeal, Worcester balances a forward-looking attitude with a respect and dignity for its past.
As populated as it is, the Worcester region is also home to areas of wonderful pastoral beauty with many natural sites, for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city for the day. From hiking and biking on local trails, to horseback riding or taking a day out on the golf course.
