Calm amongst the chaos between downtown Worcester and West Boylston
Between the hustle and bustle of downtown Worcester and the quiet suburban charm of West Boylston sits Burncoat, a residential enclave that offers a subdued – but still urban – way of life. This grassy neighborhood in a gritty New England city feels almost like one left Worcester and ended up in a nearby suburb. It has charming midcentury houses with well-maintained lawns, a private golf club and a high school that’s revered across the city and state for its well-regarded arts program. “I used to live in the Burncoat neighborhood and it kind of felt like country living with city conveniences. There are some really nice areas where you can get to the highway within a very short distance of time but you’re not in a high traffic area,” Diane Luong, Realtor with RE/MAX Advantage 1 says. “There are some side streets and neighborhoods, and you get the feeling that you are the suburbs in the middle of the city.”
