I like Sturbridge because it is very clean, safe, and well-kept. Although I don't fit in here, I love how hard this town tries to be a community. The Sturbridge Town Board is always organizing fun events to engage all ages (even during the pandemic when they held virtual activities). We have a lot of local businesses around who participate in most of the town events, which is great - I love supporting local! I love that we are not an overly crowded place, although I wish it were a bit more rural (but hey, I can't change that). We are located in a perfect area with a short distance to all major cities in New England, so commutes are never awful. There is no poverty here, and people work very hard and are always good at their job, and the schools are wonderful as well, although I no longer attend public school due to the students. There is a ton of history here, which is exciting to learn about. Also, the town also works hard to keep our area clean. Overall, this town is not horrible!
It's a populous tourist town with lots of great food. There are plenty of recreational areas, lakes, basketball courts, a theater, shopping centers, etc. Definitely a nice place to visit, and absolutely a nice place to live. The schools are very nice and well staffed. As a student of all of Sturbridge's public schools, I can attest to the education. The town high school even offers a technical program for students who would like to work in a trade after high school, along with a regular academic course. The town also has many wonderful attractions throughout the year including concerts on the common, farmers markets, a fall festival, an ice skating rink on the common green, etc.
I recently moved to Sturbridge in 2020. I currently work at the local hospital located in the next town. Sturbridge has always been a favorite town of mine. I love how Sturbridge incorporates history into daily life. Old Sturbridge Village is a historic community that offers walking paths and diversity in daily life. Many events are held at Old Sturbridge Village that showcases the civil war area. Reenactments are held every July fourth and are open to the entire community to join. Schools often take field trips to visit the village and incorporate their learning with performing and of the job duties around the village. Sturbridge also has a wide variety of small businesses located in the area. Dining options range from BBQ to Tai food. The public schools have an amazing rating and offer many different career paths for students to take. Such as academic and vocational trade paths. Sturbridge public schools also offer a wide variety of sports to all ages around the community.
