Turtleboy would like to become Worcester’s new head of tourism and economic development. So we’re gonna throw together a guide for potential homebuyers to convince them why they should buy a home and settle down in the Woo. Here are the Top 10 most beautiful neighborhoods in Worcester.

Screen Shot 2015-12-01 at 10.10.28 AM

10. Elm Park

We’ll define Elm Park as everything jammed in between Elm, Highland, Lancaster Street, and Elm Park. Back in Worcester’s heyday this is where Worcester’s finest came to burn their money and laugh about all the poor people who died in their factory that week. And as you can see, the neighborhood is still vibrant and alive with culture, art, and breathtaking scenery.

12380148_1659920237624586_2043893213_n

 

9. Plumley Village

Plumley Village is on a roll right now. No one’s been shot there since July. New record. So as you can see, things are clearly on the rise in Plumley Village. The area has become quite gentrified, so property value is also on the rise. Buy now before you get priced out.

12386513_1659925577624052_967063070_n

 

8. Crompton/Green Island

So this is basically lower Vernon Hill. For our purposes this will cover the area from Southbridge Street, through Millbury Street, and up to Vernon Street. The region is alive with plenty of jobs:

1060053_1659900674293209_386175587_n

Luxury condos

10356498_1659900657626544_1021167983_n

And buildings that might be condemned, but yet still somehow have 20 satellite dishes so the squatters can watch free cable:

12366811_1659900637626546_1590333127_n

 

7. Great Brook Valley

This place used to be ranked higher, but then former mayor Ray Mariano made everyone get jobs if they wanted to continue to live here. Downer. Nevertheless there is a strong economy here that revolves around stolen bikes, blunt wraps, and Cheetos. What young professional wouldn’t want to call the Valley home and set their roots for years to come?

12367109_1659886620961281_1289955438_n

 

6. Union Hill

There’s an ongoing debate about where Vernon Hill ends and Grafton Hill begins. Union Hill kind of joins them together, so we’re gonna define it as everything from Vernon Street, through Providence Street, to Grafton Street. Basically the Dorchester Street shuffle. Union Hill could best be described as charming and quaint, but also swanky and refined. For instance, nothing says “swanky” like some nice boarded up windows:

12386774_1659907804292496_538607994_n

Or lawns with all types of random shit skattered everywhere:

12387808_1659907790959164_1655445120_n

Or discarded bicycles:

12395632_1659907754292501_1192864253_n

New businesses:

10570567_1659907687625841_74272453_n-2

And local residents playing in rubble

5. Belmont Hill

Belmont Hill is everything in between Green Hill, East Park, and Plumley Village. If you are looking for a place to settle down where you and your children can go for a nice walk, then Belmont Hill is the place for you. It features spectacular allies.

12388018_1659915554291721_1490932270_n

Tree lined avenues:

12380025_1659915177625092_1368500527_n

Historic, and bustling streets such as Eastern Ave, Elizabeth Street, and of course Hooper Street:

12380099_1659907670959176_1200822055_n-2

But as the local tour guide WANDA will tell you, you must watch out for ratchets on Hooper Street.

12366872_1659915420958401_1634004265_n1414804_1659915330958410_1003781816_n

It also features many lovely parks, which are great for hiking, sight seeing, or throwing your unwanted couches and hubcaps:

12386493_1659915260958417_495717666_n

12380364_1659915147625095_605902933_n

And if you’re into the arts, the world renowned Shelby Street brass quartet still plays daily hour long concerts.

 

4. Lower Pleasant

This neighborhood’s boundaries include everything north of Austin Street, through Pleasant Street, to Elm Street. You know you’re in a great part of town the second you see someone’s shoes dangling from the electric wires:

10643309_1659887710961172_368421141_n

The neighborhood also features many cultural institutions, such as the G&S pool hall:

1932105_1659887750961168_1159004085_n

Former Domino’s Pizza shops that have been converted into churches:

12395623_1659887777627832_1118017557_n

Random people sitting on benches all day:

12399161_1659887760961167_800735966_n

Victorian architecture:

12388148_1659888664294410_1727868502_n

Awe inspring landscape:

12395610_1659887717627838_1613086771_n

Plenty of places to cash your check and invest it back into the local economy:

12399216_1659887767627833_207841274_n

You can meet the real movers and shakers in the neighborhood with a quick trip to Santiago’s:

12358305_1659887787627831_1738594267_n

Every day is trash day, because the mandatory yellow city trash bags are not required here:

12395143_1659888667627743_323015163_n

And of course nothing screams, “I’m in a great neighborhood right now” like a local Planned Parenthood:

702733_1659887707627839_1133208883_n

 

3. Lower Chandler

We will define this neighborhood as everything south of Austin Street, through Chandler Street to May Street. Everyone who lives in Worcester can tell you that this apartment complex right here is where Worcester’s finest movers and shakers congregate throughout the day:

10717447_1659888627627747_649758342_n

Lower Chandler Street is currently in the midst of a cultural and architectural renaissance:

12395162_1659888650961078_900420982_n

12395250_1659888644294412_1574934901_n

12386602_1659888660961077_863203172_n

If you are religious then you are in luck, because local City Councilor Sarai Rivera just so happens to own a church that can only be rivaled by the Vatican:

12366932_1659888640961079_741419337_n

12388000_1659888634294413_350675096_n

People in this neighborhood are extremely laid back. As a matter of fact green lights mean very little in lower Chandler Street, and friendly conversations often transpire between drivers and pedestrians:

12380324_1659888690961074_701373427_n

And you know you’re in a great part of town when you have a pawn shop/loan shark just a stone’s throw away:

1932024_1659888687627741_1038356510_n

 

2. Lower Main South

Main South is technically a gigantic area of Worcester, so we divided into two parts – above and below the railroad tracks. This rapey looking overpass is the boundary:

12387840_1659895424293734_798906217_n

Lower Main South includes everything enclosed between Hammond, Cambridge, Canterbury, and Southbridge Street. There are an endless supply of vacant lots:

12395158_1659895304293746_138204770_n

Local watering holes where Worcester’s most brilliant minds congregate to discuss politics at all hours of the day:

12395406_1659895447627065_472268928_n

Homes with ambulances parked in the driveway, where South High kids got drunk in the 90’s:

12388102_1659895497627060_1917882586_n

If you can, try to get your kid into Canterbury Street School so they can use their world famous playground:

1059294_1659895397627070_534147822_n

As part of the growing art scene many local residents have chosen to express themselves by using bed sheets and towels as curtains:

12386540_1659895360960407_1932884314_n

Yards are vast, and scattered with elegant lawn furniture:

12395512_1659895550960388_1963826360_n

The streets are alive with traders and stock brokers dressed in bathing suits in the middle of December:

12395366_1659895770960366_1596010045_n

Once you experience Canterbury Street you’ll never want to live anywhere else:

Screen Shot 2015-12-01 at 10.29.56 AM

 

1. Upper Main South

We will define upper Main South as everything in between Webster Square, Canterbury Street, Florence Street, and Kirsch Liquors. Upper Main South is in the midst of cultural gentrification, and there are plenty of places for your kids to play:

12387966_1659895884293688_1250172316_n

12399195_1659895914293685_1607038366_n

In years past Beacon Street was just a place you went to when you wanted to kill someone execution style without being seen. But now it is a bustling center of splendor and enchantment:

12387889_1659896000960343_1128089501_n

There are lovely boutiques:

12387889_1659896400960303_1984508202_n

Stunning views:

12388045_1659896357626974_1369114362_n

Exquisite property:

12395502_1659896290960314_714260661_n

And of course this local market where grown men, who have already made their fortune and can afford to not work all day, hang out 24/7 discussing stock tips:

10653998_1659896027627007_1800736563_n 10555039_1659896090960334_546570124_n
The bottom line is, Worcester is a flourishing, up-and-coming urban enclave for young professionals, families, and anyone looking for a vibrant economy and high end property. Move to Worcester and you too can enjoy this type of gorgeous scenery on a daily basis.

Honorable Mention: Lakeside Apartments, Lincoln Village, Granite Street, Grafton Hill

    Worcester’s Main South-Piedmont steadily lost ground to blight in ther last third of the 20th century, a time when South Main Street’s storefronts were collectively known as “agency row”, with dozens of non profits dedicated (they said proudly) to reversing the area’s decline. Federal funds provided the salaries and budgets for the Worcester Cooperation Council, Inc. which teamed up with the Worcester Heritage Preservation Society to save and restore the Crown Hill neighborhood. Main Street was preservation’s lost cause, or never-was cause. In the early 70’s north Main Street lost the historic Goddard Block across from the county courthouse, the historic cast iron Corinthian block at Main and Pearl, and many more, as the redevelopment corowd hated old buildings and saw the future in the form of bulldozered progress and steel and concrete high rises like the new Marriott. Meanwhile the downtown interests looked no further south than Chandler Street, consigning everything south of it and north of Norwood Street as expendable. A tragic and deadly tenement fire on Main Street near Wellington Street confirmed the impression that Main-South-Piedmont was expendable, a dumping ground for the poor and disabled. In the early ’70’s fires and abandonment ravaged a once architecturally distinguished area of Main South from LaGrange to Hammond Streets, right under the noses of the agency row neighborhood revitalization crowd, which basically looked the other way.

    In 1970 preservation minded architect John Heron led walking tours of the area and advocated investment in the area. By 1976 the area had lost many Main Street landmarks, the Gilrein’s Block, the magnificent Evans apartment block at Main and Hammond Streets (1894), knocked down after a minor fire. Mansions on LaGrange Street and Victorian brick row houses on Oread Place were demolished with Federal funds lest firefighters have to risk their lives saving homeless squatters in buildings there was no interest in saving. For some reason, leftist anti-poverty workers, fearing nonexistent gentrification perhaps and their minds full of Marxist precepts, saw no connection between preserving neighborhood architecture and the well being of the poor. The area’s lack of vision and feelings of disenfranchisement were reflected by the demolition of the iconic tower of the Wright Wire Co. on Hammond Street. On nearby Piedmont Streets, the Charles Manoog Co. moved away, perhaps sensing the area’s social unraveling was quickening. A housing cooperative that tried to rehab Castle Street’s brick row houses in the early 80’s foundered as the surrounding neighborhood lost its historic brick buildings along Main Street and crack dealers invaded. The cooperative housing hailed as a neighborhood turnaround failed because of long standing neglect of the surrounding area. Crack dealers proliferated and middle class members of the Castle Street Cooperative realized this was no neighborhood in which to raise kids.

    Comment on Worcester neighborhoods tends to be schizophrenic, with the optimists singing the praises of Crown Hill and ignoring anything not nice, and the muckrakers concentrating on the dirt, rubble, and the street’s walking wounded. Almost completely lacking are a perspective on recent history, the reasons why things happened as they did, and some of the block-by-block specifics that tell the real story, a bit of which I’ve tried to hint at here. Leftist poverty fighters, careerist neighborhood revitalizers and so on were and are Humpty Dumptys. incompetents, and i dreamers who came and went ineffectually.

    I can’t imagine why any business in and around Worcester would support your trash talk publication. Don’t get me wrong.. I appreciate the heads up. I was looking to purchase a property in Worcester..Thank You for the enlightenment. I’ll scratch the city of Worcester right off my list of potential locales for residency. Negative output never creates positive input. Why don’t you and your clan have a paint party and create a large banner to place on the city borders… “Welcome to the woo.. The western Ma.capital of slumlordville”

    My grandfather was President of the old Wright Machine Company, at 69 Armory Street, until his death in 1959. A few years back, I drove by the site; and it was like driving through a German industrial neighborhood, in the 1940s, after an Allied air raid.

    I would love to see a minor league ballpark in the area. You could even revive the old South Worcester railroad station so that people could easily get there by public transportation.

    I have lived my whole life in Worcester, 63 years worth, so I do remember how this city was. I am truly hoping that all these bad neighborhoods will eventually get cleaned up with responsible homeowners will again take pride in their home and property. I grew up in Main South with families who always took pride in the families and homes. Maybe we should get a cleaning crew from the County jail to do work that would clean up some of these awful neighborhoods and put their time working towards an early release. That could be a win – win all around. I can only hope that there will be a change in Worcester. I’m a Worcester girl through and through. I so hate to see how awful it has become and can only hope for a change someday. Maybe this could be my Christmas wish ???? Just a thought…….

    This tongue-in-cheek article succinctly throws one of Massachusett’s once 20th largest city in the U.S. right under the bus. So sad that the grass-roots of our corporate culture has chosen to unabashedly place profits over community welfare. With the correct sponsorship plan, the city of seven hills can restart growth and prosperity of its inhabitants. I would propose securing every blighted property with eminent domain and reverse the downward spiral of urban decay. Trades training, artists, architects, venture capitalists, volunteers all have a place and need to feel valued. REAL Leadership would empower and enable these positive forces to prevail and suceed!

      Not under the current Plan E they can’t. It’s set up so the city manager blames the council, and the council blames the manager and no one steps up. They’re all focused on their health insurance and pensions, and the above photos are clear evidence of that.

    • WANDA ALVARADO EATON
      December 23, 2015 at 7:16 am

      The city chooses to allow the decay of our city because it lacks investment that matters. Everyone passes the buck. At the end of the day this all falls in the lap of the City Manager. He infact is there at the discretion of the City Council. We need a strong mayor as opposed to a CM. The CM is hired and citizens can’t hold him accountable only the council can. As we know that won’t happen. I don’t think I remember a Manager ever being let go. The city makes money off of the issues that happen here. The opiate epidemic is not because of the abusers as much as it is the doctors who over prescribe and are not held accountable. The city has received almost half a million dollars to look into the epidemic. What is there to look at. You have the PIP shelter that forces people out into the street at 7 am and are not allowed back in until 5. This in fact is the case for most shelters. There should be programming such as Substance Abuse issues Mental Health issues Physical Health issues as well as whatever education or assistance they need to be functioning citizens with a place to lay their heads. As long as there are race issues theres money to be gained threw grants. Everyone wins within the establishments but not within the community. We had an opportunity for a strong mayor back in the 90’s and I think it’s time to revisit that idea. At least with a strong mayor he can be held accountable by the voters in the community. As it stands the council has the responsibility to hold him and his staff accountable. There are many at cityhall who are incompetent and should be replaced. The politics in this city however will never allow that. As for this blogs perspective well that’s just as laughable JS

    Another scathing report from someone who seems hell bent on slandering a city from which they came… You are, without a doubt, the reason the city has failed, you point out bad areas but have said nothing about groups or organizations that try to help said areas of repute. You fancy yourself as some sort of investigative reporter but really have not uncovered anything unbeknownst to anyone living there. You are in fact a hack, in which I’m sorry to say I know a and grew up in a city you so loathe. What’s the matter New York or Los Angles didn’t find you work up to snuff? Well they’re probably right.

    Dear “TurtleBoy”
    I’m so disappointed that you would make fun of Churches especially a church that used to be a Dominoes pizza, if you went inside that Church you would see how beautiful it is. The house of God is not a joke “Turtle Boy” .. Not everyone was born with a silver spoon and able to live in neighborhoods like Salisbury Street. Why make fun of the poor? Think about for a second I know you want to be famous and entertain people but don’t loose your heart over it. I’m not swearing or being rude in this message so that you can really read through this message and give it some thought. May God Bless you, God please have mercy on him and forgive him for making fun of your house, amen.

      the house of GOD exists only inside peoples hearts. The bible clearly states GOD saying his house is not made of bricks and mortar. It is the holy spirit inside each one of us that is the true church. Dont be so defensive, the buildings mean nothing

    I like you style TB but wish you emphasized it is Administration Excuses that have expanded the blight of the inner city instead of the people. Expose things like 5 May St where all the work of Administration and their reports just filed ,just cover their legal mistakes while leaving the building ,legally boarded up but remaining a blight on the neighborhood corner that has improved. Without others mentioning how it blightts the renovated area ,the City just uses the excuse of ” we try to sell it “. They have a “nickel and dime fund ” for creative ventures ,they could paint fake boarded up Windows and dress up the front steps. Instead they say ,by leaving it as is , we don’t care.

    YOU are the most fucked up human being in the whole world. Maybe you should loose some pounds and eat with your mouth closed before you judge other people like are you kidding me? You have to be a low life piece of crap if you’re going around judging people for how they live? I grew up by elm park and let me tell you that area isn’t even that bad at all? What the fuck is your problem dude? I grew up there and Im doing pretty okay. Im actually a decent human beings unlike you. As for the valley it has cleaned up a lot how about you take the pictures of the process its going through?

      When you don’t make people acknowledge the fact that the way they are living is nonsense and that their lifestyle strays from societal norms, you’re just allowing them to think that how they live is perfectly fine. This should be a wake up call for these people to see that illegally dumping couches and throwing trash wherever they want is not alright.

        Hell, I went from lower Vernon Hill to Quinsig Village back to the Hill to lower Pleasant Street.

        To Webster.

        Now THAT’S upward mobility.

      Linda you are sadly mistaken. The city didn’t clean up GBV, they cleaned it out. When the layabout criminals sucking off the system pretending to be disabled and diseased were threatened with work, they fled to Section 8 housing in neighboring towns or ones with a bus route. Then you have Clive McMoron writing articles about how the area towns aren’t designating enough low income housing. Do you blame them?

    so looks like the only good neighborhood is Salisbury area where all the affluent people live and our city is not looking good there is trash everywhere I live at Lincoln Village do not know what this is considered but going to disrepair and grounds dirty in some areas

      Burncoat, Tatnuck, Greendale, and not even Webster Square are listed. Or College Hill for that matter. It’s just a matter of time though until those neighborhoods go to shit as well. Quinsig Village is not looking so hot these days either. I used to love Worcester and always defended it but now I think the best decision I have made in my life thus far is moving out. Sad, I still have young relatives there.

      Lincoln Village is a Multi-Income Privately Owned Property by Carrabetta Corp. They obtained federal money to develop the housing for multi income. As part of the loan agreement 25 % of the units are designated for low income people. Then there are what is considered moderate income and then high. They pay 30 % of their income for rent. Plumely Village, Mountain Village, Upland Gardens and Washingting Heights are all the same. Independently owned by Condominium Developers who borrowed federal dollars. Great Brook Valley and Lake Side Apts are Worcester Housing Authority Properties. Public Housing with mixed incomes who pay 30% of their income for rent. All rents are determined on gross income as opposed to net income. All of the developments public housing or not have to show you how your rent is determined. So basically it’s all the same just different management. Ultimately they all have an obligation to H.U.D.

    In your #2 section, you show a picture of Guertin’s. For the record, I’ve been there a few times in recent years and it’s not half bad. It’s mostly frequented by the decent locals that used to live in the neighborhood and I didn’t see much of the people you’d think would live in that area. Very clean and the woodwork in there is amazing. Did I mention it has drink prices that rival the Hotel Vernon? And a trough? Having as pissing trough bumps you right up on my list!

I am not asking I am telling you to keep my name out of your mouth. I am going to come after you and your sponsers as well. There are many laws you continuesly violate. You do not have all the rights that you think you do. You are nothing but a waste of air. Your mother should be ashamed of raising such a bigot. Your feelings were hurt because you’re not able to teach anymore for it. It has made you hateful. If you really wanted to do good things for this city you wouldn’t trash it or us. You are the scum of this city. Trust me I will be pushed to a limit that you or noone else wants to see. Should you continue to be the jerkoff that you are and all your aliases/idiot allies/followers/riders and just plain assholes you will all find yourselves in the same situation.

    Worcester is turning into a scumpit place .just like Springfields nasty towns. People we let in from poor countries are branching out and living there culture here and then there sisters and brothers come and so on…I see it getting worse and spreading out in Worcester to the outskirts and before you no it Worcester is a cackaraoch town….

Oh BTW PR is part of the USA….then again fact clearly don’t get in the way of your stellar third grade education. If you look at these areas in the last 5 years its the recent immigrants who are the ones investing in the neighborhoods…but please continue with your blind animosity.

        You just made yourself look stupid. Mr. Sad never mentioned Puerto Rico in his post…. Looks like you need to learn to not place words in another person’s mouth. By the way, you’re a joke if you believe that it’s immigrants cleaning up the neighborhoods. If that point you made was even somewhat accurate, Worcester would not continue to physically worsen as time moves forward. Take your flawed logic to the comment section on telegram.com bruh.

        each time I have gone through a discarded trashbag lining the streets in my neighborhood, I have found a piece or two of mail. PRnames. I bring this evidence to the dpw so they are fined for dumping in the once great proud beautiful city.

      How is that any different from 100+ years ago when people from poor countries came here and living their culture here?

      Personally, I’d rather a productive, educated foreign-born citizen (granted they followed the proper procedures of entrance and citizenship to this country) than most of the uneducated hate mongers that we deal with on a daily basis. Though I don’t mean it as a personal attack to you, Mr.Sad, but judging by your spelling and grammar skills you’d fit into the latter group.

      It used to be that anything west of Park Ave was decent, as well as Greendale, Tatnuck and the West Boylston line. Shrewsbury Street was Italian and full of hard-working, proud, decent folks. These days, the decay and underclass has easily crossed Park Ave, invaded Tatnuck, West Boylston and is even creeping up Flagg into the west side. After the west side goes, there’s nothing left. Grafton St, Providence Street, Plantation Street, are all abandoned to the underclass already.

      The only question is whether the burbs like Paxton, Holden, etc can keep the muck out and defend the borders.

        My first apartment was in the Greendale area and it was decent enough for me to feel comfortable going for a run by myself. Sad to see it has gone downhill. I live just about as far west in Worcester as you can get — right on the Paxton line. I really like this spot and my neighborhood is full of wonderful folks. I’ll be watching for any changes and have no problem being the first yuppie shmuck to stand against this crap.

    You should drive up Queen Street area, you might be greeted by the zombies that just walk around aimlessly waiting for the PIP shelter to open…or the zombies that get treatment for their addictions…there is a hangout right on the corner of Queen and Chandler St. On the corner of Kingsbury St./Woodland is a corner store where you can buy single cigarettes, a slice of pizza. When you are done eating your pizza you can just throw the paper plate on the ground whenever you are done eating it.

      The part about no yellow city trash bags being required is 100% true in a lot of areas in the city. I guess the excuse is : “aw, they’ve had a tough life, lets allow them to throw thier shit off the 3rd floor porch into the street”. While we other suckers have to pay for these stupid bags. There’s a scum bag in my neighborhood who just piles EVERYTHING he has on the curb on Monday and the city and/or Casella just takes it any way. I put 1 tiny thing that apparently doesn’t belong in the recycling bin and they refuse to take anything. Scumbags get a free pass.
