Millbury, MAInc. 1716
Millbury is a suburban town south of Worcester along the Blackstone River, with a housing stock that reflects its proximity to the city — denser development near the center, suburban neighborhoods in the outlying areas. The Blackstone River and canal run through the town, creating flood zone considerations and historic features.
For property professionals, Millbury is an affordable suburban market in the Worcester orbit, with a housing stock that skews older and more modest than the communities to the east along the I-495 corridor.
