Welcoming neighborhood becoming a destination for growing families
Climbing the hills of the Blackstone River Valley, about 12 miles east of Worcester, is Northbridge. This neighborhood, part of the Worcester County town by the same name, is full of sizable modern homes on spacious lots, offering residents suburban peace without sacrificing commuting convenience. “I would recommend Northbridge to anyone looking for a home to grow into. It’s very family-oriented, and there’s a lot of nice new subdivisions,” says Barbara Rybicki, a Realtor with Re/Max Executive Realty and a longtime resident of neighboring Grafton. “There’s a multicultural feel to the town, and it has a very active community holding activities year-round,” Rybicki adds. Buyers are taking notice of the friendly atmosphere here. Rybicki notes, “Single-family homes are being scooped up quick.”

Colonial Revival, New Traditional and ranch-style homes
Houses here sit on winding residential streets adorned with mature trees and some blocks featuring sidewalks for a morning walk or run. Well-manicured lawns often stretch at least 4/10 of an acre and can sometimes spread well over an acre. Buyers will find Colonial Revival, New Traditional and ranch-style homes from under a thousand square feet to nearly 3,500 square feet. Some houses date back to the early portion of the 20th century, but many were built from the 1980s and on. The area has seen new development in recent years with the addition of townhouses and condominiums. Prices for a single-family home range from around $300,000 up to $950,000. Demand here is high, intensified by low inventory, reflecting the trend seen around the region. “Everything is going really fast right now. There’s a lot of competitiveness,” Rybicki says.
Ranch-style homes can be found in Northbridge for those looking at the lower price point.

The program culminates with a senior-year internship or capstone project. For families seeking alternative options for education, Rybicki notes, “There are great private schools. Parents have multiple ways to navigate education here.” Whitinsville Christian School, Our Lady of the Valley Regional School and Touchstone Community School are nearby. Teens can also apply to Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School.

Hit the links at Shining Rock Golf Club
Shining Rock Golf Club lies at the heart of the neighborhood. “People who love to be outdoors and golfers find the community very attractive,” says Rybicki. Golf Magazine once named this 18-hole course as one of the best-value clubs in the country and has been named one of the best public courses in the region by Boston Magazine. Residents can also explore the nearby Shining Rock Conservation Land, a forested area lined with hiking trails, or they can take their kids to play at Rockdale Playground, offering plenty of open space and a swing set.

For a bite to eat close to home, locals are raving about the pies served at Northbridge House of Pizza and Rybicki says people love to have a meal outside at Pirate’s Cove, known for its fish and chips. Many Northbridge residents head into nearby Millbury or Worcester for dining and shopping. The Shops at Blackstone Valley features national brands like Target, Best Buy and DICK'S Sporting Goods, and has a movie theater and several restaurants.

Drive around the Blackstone River Valley
While there are some sidewalks in the neighborhood, driving is the main way to get around here. Residents commuting the 13 miles to Worcester have easy access to State Route 146. A trip to Boston or Boston Logan International is a more than 40-mile drive. Cyclists can take the streets, but there is minimal bike-friendly infrastructure. Those without wheels can catch a ride on a Worcester Regional Transit Authority bus into Worcester at stops clustered along Church Street.
