Description

Worcester, Massachusetts, is the second-largest city in New England, located in the heart of the state about 50 miles west of Boston. Known as the “Heart of the Commonwealth,” Worcester has a rich industrial history that has evolved into a modern center for education, healthcare, and culture. The city features a diverse population and a mix of historic neighborhoods, revitalized downtown areas, and expanding commercial districts, making it a dynamic and growing urban hub in central Massachusetts. The city offers a wide range of attractions and amenities, including cultural institutions like Worcester Art Museum and EcoTarium, as well as entertainment venues such as DCU Center. Green spaces like Elm Park, one of the oldest public parks in the country, provide scenic areas for relaxation and recreation. Worcester’s growing restaurant scene, breweries, and local businesses contribute to a lively and evolving downtown atmosphere. Worcester is also a major educational and medical hub, home to several colleges and universities, including College of the Holy Cross and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Its central location and access to major highways and rail service make it a convenient base for commuting throughout New England. With its blend of history, innovation, and cultural diversity, Worcester continues to grow as a vibrant and influential city in Massachusetts.156 Washington Street is a 14,684 SF paved parking lot directly abutting the Lamartine Street Portfolio (7½ and 13 Lamartine).
