Isn't that down the street from New England Roast Beef?

In general anywhere closer to the outside of the city is better - North Worcester around Burncoat street, East side around Lake Ave or the west side around Worcester state/Salisbury street west of park Ave. I’ve lived in less desirable parts of the city since 2009 and I’ve never had any issues except a few instances of very minor car vandalism, neighbors getting arrested and the occasional parking dispute in the winter. Its definitely not as bad as the worst parts of any major city. I’m single, live alone and mostly keep to myself so things don’t bother me much.

Negative, grasshopper.

Gen Z isn’t complaining about their mortgage debt, they are having trouble even buying a house because they can’t climb out of student loan debt. I think that’s a different point though.

It’s possible the benefit from the $40 a year doesn’t materialize in any significant way but personally I think it’s a small fee to pay to see if we can improve the city. Aside from buying trash bags and cleaning trash off the street, how do you think you could better contribute $40 to improve Worcester?

You can Google crime stats. Or look at Zillow/trulia/redfin if you want street specific stuff. No one here can give you as much objective info as you can find online.

If you want subjective - we all have different personal tolerance levels, so does it really matter what anyone thinks if they aren’t you? Also, there have been numerous other posters asking this. Search the sub.

Edit - no one is “catching a bullet” in Worcester, so if you only want to live near white people then, like Icy noted, Paxton it is.

Have you or anyone tries the new bbq spot in barre? Kinda curious

This!

Preach

Yes crime rate specifically. I don't want to have to worry about catching a stray bullet or my wife being assaulted the minute she steps out of the apartment. I don't care about nightlife, highway access and schools.

is this a Ali G refrence ?

Also, Worcester rates 25th among top 50 cities in America. https://thisweekinworcester.com/worcester-safest-cities-in-america-2022/

Way too open-ended to draw a conclusion. What makes a "good" neighborhood? Crime rate, highway access, schools, shopping, nightlife?

Lived in nearly every part of the city.. it's pretty much all fine. You'll find issues with neighbors themselves, not neighborhoods, generally.

West side is the best side

You can use this as sort of general idea

I doubt it’s 100% accurate but worth a look

Sounds like you’d be happier in Paxton.

Will it have a drive through or a drive-thru?

The way to solve the problem is making it convenient for people to get to the area without taking a car.

Place was ass let’s just call it what it is

Exciting

On this sub cause I hope to move back home to Worcester after a life on the north shore: Kelly’s is trash.

Why would they choose a location right next to chick fil a?

The only decent one is at the beach. Kelly’s 20 years ago before it became commercial was fantastic.
