Former mill town blending the old with the new
Flowing over the hills and valleys of southeastern Worcester County is Hopedale. With a rich history as a company town, Hopedale has maintained a lofty present-day reputation. While small, this community on the edge of Milford, with the Mill River winding through its center, boasts highway access, notable schools, a nearby medical center and a mix of historic and upscale housing. “It’s a tiny little town. People love to live there, but there’s not much available,” says Carla Horn, a real estate agent with ERA Key Realty Services, who lives a few miles away in Whitinsville. “The area has been changing. They’ve been taking down the old mill buildings. A lot of the brick buildings were abandoned over the years. It remains to be seen what will replace them,” Horn continues.

Converted Draper duplexes and traditional single-family homes
Homes here dot softly curving streets lined with paved sidewalks. Front yards, landscaped to the personal liking of each homeowner, are separated by driveways leading to garages. Swaths of hardwood forests create privacy in backyards. Homes in the oldest parts of the community tend to be smaller and closer together, while newer subdivisions have larger homes with more expansive lawns, stretching at least half an acre. Near the town center sit stately duplexes originally built in the mid-to-late 19th century for workers of the Draper Corporation. Once the largest textile loom manufacturer in the country, the company fashioned Hopedale into a self-contained area for its workers. Many of those Draper duplexes have since been converted into condos. Further from the town center, buyers will find an assortment of traditional single-family homes in colonial, Cape Cod and rambler styles, built over the 20th century and into the 21st. Prices range between $325,000 - $850,000. Demand is high here, reflecting a region-wide trend. “There is rarely much housing available,” Horn notes.
