A historic Massachusetts neighborhood
The American Industrial Revolution is deeply rooted in Worcester’s Indian Lake East, a north side neighborhood bordering one of the city’s four major bodies of water. The nearby lake that the area gets its name from was the peak source of water for the Blackstone River, a waterway responsible for powering some of New England’s largest production mills in the early 20th century. Those industrial roots are still visible through the styles of homes found throughout the neighborhood, and its wide selection of restaurants, shops and local staples are among its most notable attributes. "It's a really nice area," says Nelson Zide, a Realtor with Era Key Realty Services in Worcester. "People are really enjoying the new restaurants and stores, plus Polar Park with the WooSox is nearby and the DCU Center has minor league hockey. Worcester is a large city, yet the Indian Lake area has a nice, small community feel at the same time."

Iconic lake views and plenty of parks
Look no further than Indian Lake itself for getting outdoors, as residents can trek along its banks or go boating, fishing or swimming in the warmer months. Shore Park lies on the northern end of the lake, featuring picnic areas along with the beach bordering the water, and Indian Lake Beach lies on the eastern side of the lake. It's not hard to find other parks in the vicinity, either. "Most of the local communities have a lot of different parks," Zide says. "There's lots of them all around the whole city. More playgrounds are going up and ballfields are being built. Someone could drive less than 15 minutes and find multiple parks in that area."
