You might be surprised though. Our second floor of a two decker is at the upper end of his range, in the 01606, and is quite nice. All depends on what you find and where.

But if you can get a 2 bedroom for the same budget in a safe place, Im sure OP can make use of an office

Unlikely to find that in a good neighborhood

We found that. Two bedrooms plus a smaller room that works as an office when I work from home. And it's in the '06.

>01609

Sorry, I missed this - Mainly looking for safety, and access to do/see different things. I can drive to explore things closer to the center of town or outside of it. But moving there without seeing it is pretty difficult so I want a stable base initially as I learn about the city.

01609, look for listings near WPI, Worcester State and Tatnuck Square, or Newton Square. In MA “squares”. Are the neighborhoods within a few blocks of a named intersection.

This is helpful since I had no idea that was the case. Thank you!
