In Worcester the public transportation is not good. You really do need a car to enjoy what the city offers because it is a large city as far as it’s land mass goes. so you have a bunch of bad neighborhoods mixed into good ones. None of the areas in Worcester are free of crime. Property crimes are still common but violent crimes are far between compared to cities of that size.

Because Worcester is so spread out I encourage people to check out the surrounding towns to live and head into Worcester to enjoy the city.

I’d rather live in Worcester than Boston, Springfield, Fall River, Lowell, Lawrence, Brockton, and like a couple dozen other places in Massachusetts, but I would still rather live in one of the surrounding towns of Worcester, because the property crime is so high.

I lived in Tatnuck, a good neighborhood, and my house got broken into multiple times. My brother lived on May street, a bad neighborhood and his joint got broke into as well. 3 floors up and still got robbed. Property crime is still real bad.
