Westminster, MAInc. 1737
Westminster is a suburban-rural town in the northern part of Worcester County, with a housing stock that has grown as residential development has pushed north from the Fitchburg-Leominster urban area. The town retains agricultural land and conservation areas alongside newer subdivisions. Wachusett Mountain Ski Area is partly in Westminster.
For property professionals, Westminster is a moderate market with a housing stock that trends newer than the neighboring cities, moderate assessed values, and the suburban-rural infrastructure mix common to northern Worcester County.
