Worcester Apartments Near WPI, Colleges, and Major Employers

Abbvie Bioresearch, Hanover Insurance Group, UMass Memorial Medical Center, Saint Vincent Hospital, Reliant Medical Group, MAPFRE Insurance, Polar Beverages, and Worcester's growing downtown employment hub are all minutes away from The Fairways. Nearby I-190 and I-290 also open up easy access to Shrewsbury, Auburn, Leominster, and — when needed — the MetroWest and Boston corridors.

Students, faculty, and graduate researchers find The Fairways especially convenient. A community with off street parking, UMass Medical School, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Clark University, the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester State University, Assumption University, Becker, and MCPHS are all reachable in roughly 10–15 minutes. This makes commuting between class, lab, and home dramatically easier when you don’t have to worry about a place to park.

Nearby Lincoln Plaza contains a Market Basket, retail and casual dining options making food shopping and errands convenient. Market 32 and Rocco's Doughnut Company are also close by. Nothing requires a long drive, which matters most on the days when you don't have time to spare.

Green space is one of Burncoat's defining features. The community is bordered by conservation land and faces the Worcester Country Club. Nearby Green Hill Park, Quinsigamond State Park, and Moore State Park each offer trails, open fields, and seasonal scenery within a short drive.

Worcester has a vibrant food and culture scene. Shrewsbury Street's restaurant row runs from casual spots like The Fix Burger Bar and Volturno Pizza to upscale options like 111 Chop House, Deadhorse Hill, and Armsby Abbey. Worcester Red Sox (WooSox) games at Polar Park, shows at the Hanover Theatre, and the Worcester Art Museum and EcoTarium enhance your entertainment choices.

Outside our own 24-hour fitness center, residents have plenty of options nearby — including River & Stone Yoga, Worcester Yoga Center, and Sculpt Pilates.
