Sturbridge offers nature, history and commuter convenience
Sturbridge is a town in south-central Massachusetts between Worcester and Springfield. The landscape is made up of woods, ponds and brooks, with some subdivisions and commercial areas branching off major regional highways. “It’s centrally located along Interstate 84 and Route 20 with easy access to Boston, about one hour away,” says Lisa Caron, the owner of Lisa Caron Real Estate and broker who sells in Sturbridge. “People might relocate here and commute to Boston because prices are lower than Boston.” The median single-family home price in Sturbridge is about $520,000 and about $1.2 million in Boston. “Taxes are high, but for people coming from Boston, it’s nothing,” Caron says. The overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4. Among tourists and history enthusiasts, Sturbridge is known for its historic village, which provides an immersive experience into life in New England in the 1830s.
