Reply to comment by apple-masher in is Southbridge as bad as everyone says? by apple-masher

Was in the same situation. Bought a house in Thompson CT. Way more bang for your buck with home buying. Taxes are high but was able to have a house built brand new for cheaper than some of Massachusetts outrageous prices on old houses.

The wife and I still commute to Worcester for work everyday. I have a 30min ride, hers is 35.

yeah it’s much better to consider anywhere along 395 south of worcester and auburn than southbridge.

Thompson is a great town! No police and next to no crime. Also, there is plenty of open space and agriculture. It's really close to I-395 and a short drive to Worcester and everywhere else in Massachusetts. It's a great border town.
