Royalston, MAInc. 1762
Royalston is a very small, rural town at the northern edge of Worcester County, bordering New Hampshire. The town is heavily forested with numerous waterfalls and conservation areas. The housing stock is minimal — dispersed single-family homes on large lots.
For property professionals, Royalston is one of the smallest and most remote markets in the county, with very limited transaction activity and properties where land and setting dominate the assessment.
