The neighborhood
Living in Northborough.
Northborough is the town buyers move to when they want good schools without Shrewsbury or Westborough pricing. It’s not a secret, but it’s also not a billboard — and that’s the appeal.
Downtown Northborough is small but real — library, farmers market, community feel. Weekends are Wachusett trails, Assabet River runs, or an easy drive to Boston or Providence.
