A rural community full of history and nearby parks
The neighborhood of Westminster is a rural community in Worcester, boasting a rich history, which can be appreciated along Main Street located in its town center, as well as across its residential landscape. Local restaurants and community events provide a know-your-neighbor feel, while nearby parks offer plenty of outdoor recreation opportunities, like skiing and boating. “If you're looking for a subdivision or a more rural location, you can find both here,” says Jennifer Shenk, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty North Central, who grew up in the area and has 11 years of experience selling in North Central Massachusetts.

The locality of Main Street
Westminster’s historic downtown is home to several local eateries along Main Street, including Westminster Café, where locals go for breakfast before pickup up fresh produce at Vincent’s Country Store a few blocks down. “We buy all of our meat there,” says Shenk. “It’s a great family-owned place; you can get most of anything you need.” The community’s history is felt at The 1762 Old Mill, a once sawmill turned American-style restaurant that has been a part of the community for 250 years. “They have the best pecan rolls and corn fritters, shares Shenk. “And everyone remembers going there as a child and feeding the ducks.” When it’s time to do some retail shopping, residents head 5 miles east for quick pick-ups from the Walmart Supercenter.

The homes of Westminster
Breaking off from Main Street are the community’s narrow residential roads surrounded by native white pine and gray birch trees, providing a feeling of seclusion. Peeking from behind these trees are Colonial, Cape Cod, Dutch colonial and ranch-style homes built from the late 18th century through the 20th century, as well as new traditional-style houses that have popped up in recent years. Further playing into its rural feel is the neighborhood’s varying plot sizes, some with as much as 4 acres. Those looking to move into Westminster can expect a range in price from $310,000 to $700,000 depending on size and condition, while larger, more recently constructed homes can reach up to $900,000.
There are many large homes with an abundance of land and privacy all hidden around Westminster.

Vocational learning at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School
Young students from Kindergarten to grade 1 will head to Meetinghouse School, which maintains a B on Niche, while grades 2 through 5 attend classes at Westminster Elementary School, which has a B-minus grade from Niche. Older students head to Overlook Middle School, which has also been given a B score, before going to class at Oakmont Regional High School, which maintains a B-minus. Another option for high school students is Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School, locally referred to as Monty Tech. Here, students can learn about specific vocations and trades. “It’s a very competitive school, and the kids come out with impressive skills,” says Shenk.
Meetinghouse Elementary can be found right in Westminster center in Massachusetts.

The slopes of Wachusett Mountain
During the summer months, locals spend the day on the shores of Crocker Pond Recreation Area, a spot for boating and swimming that’s owned by the town of Westminster. Wachusett Mountain, located in Westminster and neighboring Princeton, is famous for night skiing and its season pass program for locals. “If you live in town, you can go on your lunch break, hit three runs and come back home to finish your workday,” Shenk says.

Summer concerts at Town Common
When July rolls around, many head to the Town Common on Wednesday evenings to enjoy free live music as a part of the Summer Band’s Concert series held by the city. “This is also where the farmers market is held each Friday from May until October,” Shenk says. Another popular event is the staple Yankee Street Fair, an annual festival where attendees enjoy perusing artisanal booths and participating in activities for all ages.
Commuting from Westminter
Shenk notes that the larger city of Worcester is a 23-mile drive away on Route 190, a road with very little traffic. “Plus, you can take the commuter rail from Wachusett Station into Boston. It takes about an hour and a half, and I’ve known folks who’ve done it several days per week,” she says. Residents can also take this route to catch flights at Boston Logan International Airport or make the 58-mile drive east along MA-2. For those seeking medical attention, the Heywood Hospital sits a shorter 5.7-mile trip west along MA-2.
Westminster is not only a quiet neighborhood but also a beautiful drive through any seasons.
