Phillipston, MAInc. 1751
Phillipston is a small, rural town in the northern part of Worcester County, with a very sparse population and a landscape of forests, stone walls, and dispersed farmsteads. The town has no commercial activity of any scale and minimal municipal infrastructure.
For property professionals, Phillipston is at the furthest rural extreme of the Worcester County market — very few properties, very low values, and private infrastructure on every parcel.
