Hi everybody,
I am considering moving to Northborough since it is close to Marlborough, where I work.

Is this area (intersection of Rte 135 and 20) safe for a single female?

Could anybody throw light on the risks in off-street car parking in this area?

Your suggestions are much appreciated!

My understanding is it's a fairly affluent place to live.

I live near Northborough and can say in all honesty it's a decent town. I don't think there are many risks in off street parking.

Northborough is safe. That area is an busy intersection where there are lots of shops. It is very quiet once the shop closes. People cut through to go on Rt290 or most traffic is East/West on Rt20. Of course, you may not like the high volume of traffic... It is safe... unless there is a very beautiful female Then, men go crazy... post a pic and we'll determine if that could cause problems...

Btw... the police station is less than a miles on Rt20 from that intersection. I'm sure they can check on you often.

It's a really great town and is often overlooked in favor of the more populated or prestigious towns. You would feel safe as a single and it's convenient to plenty of places to go out.
