Lakefront living meets classic New England charm in Lake Park
Along the western shoreline of Lake Quinsigamond sits Lake Park. In this waterfront neighborhood, locals spend summer days on the sandy beaches of Quinsigamond State Park or eating ice cream while rowers glide by during regatta season. Single-family homes show off classic New England architecture, with steep gabled roofs, clapboard siding and symmetrical facades. They sit on hilly roads lined with mature maple and oak trees. Lake Park is about 3 miles from Downtown Worcester and 2 miles from Shrewsbury, with easy access to major thoroughfares, offering a blend of lakefront relaxation and urban living.

Lake Quinsigamond anchors outdoor life in Lake Park
Life in Lake Park centers on Lake Quinsigamond, and Quinsigamond State Park is the primary gateway to the water. The park is split into two areas. In the Lake Park section, you can sunbathe on the beach, walk along waterfront paths, picnic under mature trees or play a game of tennis. Farther north, Regatta Point is a hub for water sports, with an internationally recognized rowing course. “People move to the area because they're looking to live by a recreational lake. Boats and jet skis are super popular,” says Erin Zamarro, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Residential who has lived in Worcester for most of her life. “There's also Regatta Point Community Sailing, where people can rent sailboats, kayaks and paddleboards.” Off the water, Lake View Playground offers a smaller, neighborhood-park experience with a playground and a half basketball court.
