Phillipston offers larger lots and lower housing prices than Boston
Fifty miles northwest of Boston and about 30 miles northwest of Worcester, Phillipston is a small Massachusetts town that attracts buyers with its large lots, lower housing prices and rural feel. Realtor Sarah Schouler with Lamacchia Realty says the neighborhood’s location along state Route 2 makes the area accessible to Boston commuters who want more land at lower prices than what’s available in the city. “Phillipston is quite a bit more rural than neighboring towns like Templeton,” she says. “People who move there are looking for large lots with privacy and not a lot of neighbors. It’s a very small town with retail nearby, but not right in town. It’s a quiet, private area.”
The town of Phillipston, MA is a rural community with many large lots and farms with horses.
