In my town, the police department is very understanding, friendly and easy to talk to. Neighbors and locals are very welcoming of people from various backgrounds. In Northbridge, it seems as if everybody knows everybody. Grocery stores and gas stations are dispersed equally throughout the town, making a quick pit stop very accessible. We also have tons of options between fast food and restaurants. Your friends and family will always be only a couple minutes from you. Northbridge is always making great changes for the community, such as new housing developments, a new turf field for our sports players and building a new school for our children.
Grew up in Northbridge Ma, my whole life. Went through all grades of school and made lots of friends. The school system has improved and there are many beautiful, safe neighborhoods that many people call home.
Northbridge is an excellent little town full of diversity. The other review stating that anything "fun" is 20 minutes away is just untrue. The town is strategically located between Boston and Providence making it an ideal commuting area. It is conveniently located on 146 just a few exits (10 minutes) away from the shops at Millbury, there is a Walmart in town, several great local restaurants, family owned stores for crafts, bowling, mini golf, a corn maze, farms, Purgatory Chasm for hiking... a lot of options if you simply look around you. Northbridge is definitely on the rise with a lot of developments and new homes popping up. The schools are improving, but still a work in progress. The new elementary school will be finished in 2020. It's a fantastic town, full of opportunity.
