Reply to comment by LDNbisKIT in Moving From Dallas to Worcester in a month - Any advice regarding housing, do’s & dont’s and generally anything that would be helpful is much appreciated. by LDNbisKIT

You'll be driving through the core of the city on I-290 all the time.

In the afternoons, going south it is backed up from about 3:30 - untill 6:00 PM going Southwest towards Auburn. (01606 is the Northeast side of the city.) I can't speak to what the morning commute is like coming Northeast.

Do not put too much stock on the people telling you to flee towards the suburbs. I moved to the city in 2014 (01609) and have loved it here. It is nice to be able to walk to places when we want.

But if you do choose to look outside the city limits, then given your work zipcode, then West Boylston or Holden would be better choices. The burbs to the east (Shrewsbury, Northborogh, etc...) are much more expensive.

Thank you mate, I appreciate this. Growing up in London, I value walking and access to things so much more than the average person. Dallas is so car-centric and it’s gross. Looking forward to the daily jaunts around town. Thanks again 👍🏾
