Agricultural and solar farms in North Brookfield
Situated in west Worcester County, North Brookfield offers views of green farmland with roaming horses and cows, dense forests and historic main streets. Home to both a solar farm and a Victorian-style public library constructed in 1893, the rural neighborhood preserves history while supporting modern development. “It’s a laidback environment, with lots of open space. The tax rates are also pretty reasonable, and it’s convenient for commuters,” says Cassie Paolucci, broker/owner of Post Road Realty, who has served North Brookfield and the surrounding area for 16 years. Residents have plenty of options for outdoor recreation and community engagement but remain near larger urban areas.
Colonial Revivals and farmhouses on quiet roads
Many homes are situated on the gridded roads surrounding North Main Street, but properties are also along the rural streets that meander across North Brookfield. “Driving through the area, you’ll notice lots of farmland and open space. It’s ideal for people who want to raise animals or have space for kids,” Paolucci says. Houses range in style; there are 19th-century colonials, 1970s split-levels and ranches and Colonial Revivals from the early 2000s. Open lots and farmhouses on large plots of land are also available. Colonials requiring renovations are priced at $175,000, but prices for well-maintained homes do not vary according to style. Most homes cost between $330,000 and $460,000. An open 12-acre lot is priced around $350,000, while a farmhouse with a barn on 10 acres costs $630,000.

Commute to Worcester or walk downtown
Some streets near downtown are lined with narrow sidewalks, but sidewalks are generally difficult to come by in this rural area. The neighborhood is very car-dependent, so locals rely on personal vehicles. State highways can take residents 20 miles east to Worcester and route to major highways like Interstate 90 to travel 70 miles east to Boston.
