Reply to comment by ntcummings42 in Why are houses in Holden and the Wachusett area so cheap? by [deleted]

Paxton is literally immediately outside Worcester, has excellent infrastructure and public services for its size, and access to a premium school district.

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.

if you're rich and willing to live in a town full of assholes, you'd be a lot better moving to a real town closer to Boston than wasting your money on a palace in the middle of the woods.
