Why Live in Salisbury Street
Salisbury Street, which locals sometimes call Worcester's West side, is known for its large collection of well-preserved historic homes. Along the neighborhood's hilly, secluded and tree-lined streets, you can find a variety of housing styles, including Colonial Revivals, Tudors, Arts and Crafts, Queen Annes and ranch-styles. Most residential roads branch off Highland and Salisbury streets, which are busier. But, because of this, residential pockets stay quiet and secluded. Smaller neighborhoods, like the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District and Westwood Hills, the only community with an HOA, make up the Salisbury Street area, and prices span a wide range, from the low $300,000s to just shy of $1 million. Bancroft Tower, a tall stone monument that resembles a castle, sits on a hill overlooking the neighborhood and offers hiking trails. Nearby Moreland Woods is a conservation area with nature trails, while Elm Park is a manicured city park that hosts events. It's a short drive to shopping and dining options. Espress Yourself Coffee and Westside Steak & BBQ are in the neighborhood, and the restaurants along Highland and Shrewsbury streets aren't far either. An entrance to Interstate 290 is about 4 miles away and Interstate 90 is about 7 miles away, leading to Boston. Worcester Public Schools serve the neighborhood, and the highly rated Notre Dame Academy, an all-girls Catholic school, is in the neighborhood.
