Pack Your Bags For This Massachusetts Town Where $1,500 A Month Covers Absolutely Everything

There are cities in Massachusetts that will take everything you earn and hand you back a studio apartment and a vague sense of financial anxiety, and then there’s Gardner. Gardner, Massachusetts is the city that quietly decided affordability and quality of life weren’t mutually exclusive, and it has been proving that point for years while the rest of the state wasn’t watching.

Looks like starter homes will remain in illegal in much of Massachusetts

In Wellesley, Massachusetts, it is basically illegal to build a starter home, and it looks like it will stay that way.

255 apartments units proposed for former Worcester supermarket site

WORCESTER – After two decades of speculation over the future of a large Mill Street lot across from Coes Reservoir, the owner has come forward with plans to build a housing complex with 255 units across seven buildings. The lot at 195 Mill St. was once home to the Big D chain and Price Chopper. The property has remained vacant for two decades after the grocery stores left, with the 32,000-square-foot building they left behind deteriorating into an eyesore and a significant topic of conversation during past election years. The building was torn down in October 2023 by the owner Worcester Mill LLC, a holding company that is part of Plaza Properties, which redeveloped the Lincoln Plaza shopping center. The company is headed by Sam Adams, whose family formerly owned the Big D supermarket chain. Blueprints Worcester Mill LLC submitted with the Zoning Board of Appeals show three five-story buildings and four four-story buildings. The 255 units will include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The plans also include 389 total parking spaces, including 85 compact spaces, 39 electrical vehicle spaces, 39 electrical vehicle-ready spaces and 16 accessible spaces. The owners will appear in front of the Zoning Board of Appeals
