Upton, MAInc. 1728
Upton is a small, residential town in the southeastern part of Worcester County, with a housing stock that has grown significantly in recent decades as residential development has pushed westward from the I-495 corridor. The town retains a semi-rural character with conservation land and a compact village center.
For property professionals, Upton is a moderate-to-upper suburban market where newer construction dominates and the town's appeal as a residential community has driven steady appreciation.
