West Boylston, MAInc. 1642
West Boylston is a small town north of Worcester, with the Wachusett Reservoir dominating its geography — a significant portion of the town's original center was flooded when the reservoir was created, and the Old Stone Church, partially submerged at the water's edge, is a haunting reminder. The remaining town has a compact center and surrounding suburban-residential development.
For property professionals, West Boylston is a moderate Worcester suburban market where the reservoir watershed restrictions shape development density and create an unusual land-use context.
