Residential but not far from the action
The Leominster neighborhood of North Leominster is about 20 miles north of Worcester and 50 miles west of Boston. Its North Leominster Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail, which runs daily to and from the state capital, and key state highways Route 13 and Route 2, make travel accessible. But close to home, everyday amenities are a short drive away, and residents can enjoy numerous outdoor spaces. Plus, North Leominster is an active community where people get together all year round, from summer food truck festivals to Christmas tree fundraisers. “The town is so versatile,” says Brenda Cormier, a Realtor with Re/Max Vision who grew up in the area. “There’s all kinds of places and things to do for all ages.”

Housing market strong despite 2023 flood
Some homes in North Leominster sit on cracked, bumpy roads, where wild brush sways and Elm trees shade driveways. Others line the sidewalks of small subdivisions. There's a cluster of warehouses on the neighborhood’s west side, but commuter rail tracks separate this industrial zone from residential areas. Potential homebuyers can find a modest Cape Cod or ranch-style property for around $300,000 to $500,000 in North Leominster, while Colonial Revival or New Traditional homes will often run in the $500,000 to $800,000 range, depending on the size, age and condition. Townhouses are also available; these units tend to cost between $270,000 and $380,000. Many homes across the city suffered damage in 2023 when heavy rains flooded Leominster, causing $40 million in damage. However, Coldwell Banker Sales Associate Sherri Tammelin Rogers, who has lived in Leominster for nearly 30 years, says such an event is uncommon for the community. “Quite a bit of damage occurred in Leominster. This is not a flood zone. It was a freak rainstorm.”

Getting around North Leominster
The nearly 5-mile Twin Cities Rail Trail connects Leominster to Fitchburg. “It’s beautiful and quite popular,” Cormier says. “You’ll see more walkers than bikers. It crosses the highway and passes Doyle Field, the hospital and the shopping mall.” Most people drive to work, though, and the closest highway entrance to North Leominster is about 2 miles from the neighborhood. Massachusetts state Route 2, which connects to U.S. Interstate 190, hugs the neighborhood to the west. It also connects to Interstate 495, which leads about 50 miles east to Boston, where many locals work. Residents can also reach the state capital by catching a train at the North Leominster station.
Access to highways serves as both an advantage and drawback for North Leominster, Tammelin Rogers explains. “North Leominster is a good location. The downside is Route 13 through the neighborhood gets a lot of congestion. Once you get to know the side streets, it’s avoidable.” Route 13, also called Main Street along its stretch in North Leominster, runs just under 15 miles north to New Hampshire. “It’s not far for those looking to head across the border for tax-free shopping,” Tammelin Rogers adds. The neighborhood is also next to the Fitchburg Municipal Airport.
Leominster offer a commuter rail station right in the heart of the town.
Main Street in North Leominster has several amenities, including a local bank and church.

What’s happening in North Leominster
“There are so many things going on in Leominster,” Cormier says. North Leominster is less than 2 miles from Monument Square, a plaza in downtown Leominster that hosts some of the city’s events, like Cannoli Fest in the autumn and Pink Flamingo Day, a 15-year June tradition that honors the plastic lawn decoration originally manufactured in Leominster. Leominster Frights occurs every October when participants decorate their homes with spooky displays, awaiting visitors. In September, the city's beloved food truck festival brings over 25 food trucks, a beer garden and live music to Monument Square. The Leominster Coffee Crawl is another foodie favorite. For an entire week, participating coffee shops sell brews for just a dollar, if visitors have paid the $4 ticket price. When the crawl ends, folks can vote on the best cup. During the holiday season, the Festival of the Trees at City Hall is a fundraiser where residents can bid on donated Christmas trees. The money raised is put back into the community.

Hiking at Prospect Park, golfing at Monoosnock
The neighborhood’s biggest green space, Prospect Park, spans 36 acres. Surrounded by subdivisions, the wooded park has a 1-mile trail loop for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. On the other end of the neighborhood, kids' baseball teams play under the lights of Justin DeSantis Field. In between, golfers tee off at Monoosnock Country Club, a private 9-hole golf course that opened in North Leominster in 1908. Doyle Field, which Cormier says is one of the city’s most popular green spaces, is about a mile from the neighborhood. “It’s conducive for all ages,” she says. “There’s a track that a lot of older folks walk on, tennis courts for people who want to play tennis, swings and slides for kids.” The 21-acre manicured green space also hosts the Leominster Blue Devils high school football team on Friday nights in the fall. Great Wolf Lodge, about 8 miles west in Fitchburg, is a popular spot for families to spend the weekend, too, she notes.

I live about 20 minutes away and I’ll drive down there just to walk.” The nearest hospital is HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital, 7 miles away in Fitchburg.
