Broadmeadow Brook
Cape Cod homes reflect coastal undertones
An abundance of Cape Cod-style homes with shingled facades and dormer windows can conjure up the imagery and feel of a coastal town as opposed to a metropolitan suburb. A handful of Salt Box residences reflect Worcester’s architectural history dating back to the early 18th century. "There's also a lot of newer contemporary homes and a range of starter homes in the area," Zamarro says. Many homes here can be found tucked into residential pockets surrounded by small forests. Residents can also find a number of condominiums and apartment complexes with private amenities. A majority of residences cost between $270,000 and $540,000, but some four-bedroom contemporary homes can sell for well over $650,000.

Primary school learners might go to the C-plus-rated Roosevelt School for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten through sixth grade. Students can then feed into Worcester East Middle School, which is rated C. For a secondary institution, students can attend North High School, rated C-plus, or Worcester Technical High School, an A-minus-rated institution that Niche ranked number one on their “Niche Standout High Schools in Massachusetts” list.State-of-the-art Blithewood Park
Locals looking for outdoor recreation and athletic facilities can find all they’re searching for at Blithewood Park – here, park-goers can find an outdoor sporting complex that features a tennis court, baseball field and basketball court. Residents can also sit back and relax in the park’s gazebo or picnic area while kids explore the park’s state-of-the-art playground.

Home to New England's largest urban wildlife sanctuary
Just across from Blithewood Park is where locals can find Mass Audubon’s Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, a 400-acre conversation center and nature preserve with more than 5 miles of hiking trails. Here, residents can visit a museum, enjoy a picnic and go bird watching. The sanctuary also offers youth programs, volunteering opportunities and summer camps. Educators can partner with Mass Audubon to teach students about wildlife preservation and natural ecosystems.Retail and restaurants along main roads
The majority of retail and dining spots in this neighborhood are located along U.S. Route 20 or Massachusetts Route 122; off of these routes, residents can shop for household goods and basic groceries at a Dollar Tree or sit down for a meal at the La Cucina Italiana restaurant. Locals can also head to Stop & Shop at the Perkins Farm Marketplace for a wider selection of groceries, fresh produce and a pharmacy. For a late-night slice, residents can stop by Niko’s Pizza House and find a selection of calzones, subs, salads, pasta and gourmet pizza.

Quick commute to city center
Due to a lack of sidewalks in its sprawling residential areas, Broadmeadow Brook is considered a car dependent neighborhood. Commuters can easily access and use Route 20, Route 122 and Massachusetts Route 146 to drive into downtown Worcester and surrounding areas. Public transportation is provided by the Worcester Regional Transit Authority, which operates a fixed bus route and bus stops through the neighborhood that connects back to Union Station in the city center, which has a train station and commuter rail. The Worcester Regional Airport is approximately 8 miles away and offers flights operated by Delta Air Lines, JetBlue and American Airlines.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
