How Brittan Square balances city living with a neighborhood feel
Brittan Square has a little bit of everything. The neighborhood sits between Interstate 290 and the 500-acre Green Hill Park, with UMass Memorial Medical Center facilities and Lincoln Street's shops and restaurants close by. A handful of local businesses dot the main roads, while duplexes, triple-deckers and a few single-family homes line the side streets. Because of these residential pockets, Brittan Square keeps a laid-back feel, delivering city convenience without the Downtown Worcester density.
What homebuyers and renters can find in Brittan Square
Houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries line Brittan Square's hills. Most residents rent units in triple-deckers and Victorian multi-family properties, which carry timeless New England character. Gingerbread trim, turrets, first-floor porches and second-story balconies dress up homes throughout the neighborhood. A few single-family homes are sprinkled in as well, with clapboard-sided Colonial Revivals being the most common style. "It's an older part of the city. A lot of our housing stock is really old," says Erin Zamarro, associate broker at Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT, who has sold homes across Worcester. "There are some houses that've been fixed up and restored and are beautiful." Single-family homes in Brittan Square typically range from the low $300,000s to the high $500,000s, with a median sale price around $460,000. Multi-family properties can start in the low $600,000s and reach about $1.2 million.
What the commute is like from Brittan Square
Brittian Hill is located near some of Worcester’s top job centers. "Its proximity makes it a great option for people looking to live close to downtown without paying the price premium," Zamarro says. "It's a mix of families and people who are connected to the hospital system and pharmacy school; you can walk to the pharmacy school from Brittan Square." Here’s how far employment hubs are from the neighborhood:
UMass Memorial Medical Center - Hahnemann Campus is in the neighborhood, while UMass Chan Medical School and UMass Memorial Medical Center’s main campus are about 3 miles east.
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences is roughly 2 miles south.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute is about 2 miles west.
Downtown Worcester is less than 5 miles south.
For commutes to Boston, about 50 miles east, you can jump on Interstate 190, which borders the neighborhood and connects to Interstate 90, leading into the city. Located downtown, Union Station has an MBTA commuter rail leading to the state capital. For air travel, Worcester Regional Airport, with limited domestic flights, is about 6 miles away.
Where Brittan Square students can go to school
The Worcester Public Schools district serves the neighborhood. Students typically attend Wawecus Road School before Burncoat Middle School and Burncoat Senior High School. Both Burncoat schools feature an Arts Magnet Program. It’s one of the five citywide magnet programs open to students by application. In-district transfers are also available, depending on open seats at the receiving school.
Green Hill Park anchors local recreation
Green Hill Park, Worcester’s largest, borders the neighborhood to the east. It sits atop one of the city’s seven hills, providing panoramic views. "It kind of tucked away. You have to look for the park almost, but it's huge; there's a lot of open space for people to hang out," Zamarro says. Here’s what you can find at Green Hill Park: - Green Hill Golf Course, an 18-hole public course - Athletic facilities, including ball fields, a multipurpose field and a skate park - Green Hill Park Farm, a family-friendly farm with animals that’s open year-round - The East Side Trail, which extends from Cristofo Columbo Park to Shrewsbury Street and has a stop here - Greenhill Pond, a 30-acre body of water with fishing opportunities
Where Brittan Square residents can shop and dine
Salt & Pepper, a breakfast and lunch spot, and Wen Hing, a go-to for Chinese takeout, are in the neighborhood. A short drive along Lincoln Street leads to Lincoln Street Plaza, where Brittan Square residents can handle most everyday errands. In the shopping center and surrounding it, you’ll find big-box stores like Target and Lowe’s Home Improvement alongside nationally-known retailers like TJ Maxx and Kohl’s.

For a night out, Downtown Worcester is about 4 miles south, while Shrewsbury Street, the city’s dining district with a wide range of local restaurants, is about 5 miles away.
