I just bought my house in Worcester in September, we spent the summer house hunting and found the opposite to be true. The houses we looked at in Holden were often much smaller and usually more outdated and were going for at least 30-50k more (and selling FAST) than a comparable sized house/land in Worcester..

We did our roof thru golden group roofing.
We shopped around, golden group wasn't the cheapest and wasn't the most expensive.

They did an excellent job.

My tip is - Don't cheap out. Its hard to figure out what the roofer or the maintainence person is doing, so best to go with someone thats reputable.

Paxton has a fairly high residential property tax rate. They offer a discounted rate to anyone over 65 (and there’s a lot of elderly living in Paxton) and they don’t have much in the way of commercial property to help offset the towns budgetary needs, so buying there is more expensive than the other larger wachusett towns.
