Natural suburban setting near downtown Worcester

Nestled in the suburbs of Worcester is Broadmeadow Brook, a neighborhood marked by pockets of residential communities and densely wooded areas. According to Erin Zamarro, a Coldwell Banker real estate broker and Worcester local, the neighborhood is also commonly known as “Broad Meadow Brook” and the Massasoit Road area. "One of the big draws of this area is that residents have lots of access to major transportation routes like Interstate 90," Zamarro says. This neighborhood is less than 3 miles south of downtown Worcester and approximately 4 miles north of the Martha Deering Wildlife Management Area, putting residents in close proximity to both urban and natural settings. Worcester Public Schools, which has an overall B-minus rating from Niche, is the academic district serving students in the area. At the center of the neighborhood is the Mass Audubon Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary, which is known as the largest urban wildlife sanctuary in New England.

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.

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.
