South Worcester Homes for Rent

South Worcester is a blue-collar suburb known for its manufacturing and industry, colorful murals, and scattered dining options. Adjacent to downtown and partially bordered by an interstate, the neighborhood experiences increased noise levels. An active railroad runs through the area, passing by trees, parks, and a large cemetery. The South Worcester Neighborhood Center, established in 1969, features a food pantry and hosts an annual Toys for Tots fundraiser. The neighborhood is close to the College of the Holy Cross and the Main South neighborhood, offering a mix of historic homes from the mid-1800s, clapboard, Cape Cod, triple-decker houses, and townhouses. Crompton Park, one of the city's busiest parks, spans 12 acres and includes a skate park, seasonal pool, playground, and courts for basketball, handball, and tennis. Camp Park, a smaller green space, features two baseball diamonds and a playground. Dining highlights include the historic Miss Worcester Dining, known for its stuffed French toast, and Acoustic Java Roastery and Tasting Room, which offers small-batch coffee and barista training. The neighborhood is well-connected with sidewalks, bus stops, and proximity to Interstate 290 and Route 146, and is just 5 miles from Worcester Regional Airport.
