I've lived in Ware a long time; there are beautiful places -- Quabbin, Swift River, etc. There are also people working to bring more culture through the arts.
Sadly, even though the police presence is strong and efficient, some of the same residencies have been drug houses for over a decade. This is destroying neighborhoods and allowing a constant stream of drugs into the town. For some reason, these public nuisances are allowed to thrive.
The board of health is also non aggressive against negligent landlords and structures that are clearly unsafe for residents.
The schools are okay, but the library hardly has any resources (computers, space, teen programming), due to lack of support from the town government.
So, you can make a home and find food, nature, and art, but the town agencies need to do there part so the town can reach its full potential.

Ware has so much potential. Yet, there are drug dealers that have been allowed to deal for decades from the same residence - renting to more drug dealers. It is common knowledge and destroying neighborhoods and lives. How is this not addressed? Homes are also literally falling down without the Board of Health taking any permanent action. The water is brown. Why is the water brown? Year after year the town defends the brown water. Water needs to run clear - period. Invest in a home somewhere else. Somewhere where your tax dollars will be honored properly.
Ware... Let's see... Drugs, occasional needles lying around, traffic, noise, air pollution from everyone smoking in public, run down buildings, kids are trouble around here, vandalism everywhere, shady looking people walking around... Ware is basically the projects for the most part. Areas of similar feel include Springfield, Southbridge, Norwich CT, Woonsocket RH etc. It's not safe for kids, Lots of sex offenders reside here, It's a dump. I live in the next town over and it's so much nicer there. So safe and clean and the air is actually fresh. DON'T MOVE TO WARE. Even hanging out here is sketchy...
