We are a young family with three young kids. Are kids are in Catholic school in Northborough. We are looking for a house under 300K with at least 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. We like privacy and land. I work in Worcester and my husband works in Shrewsbury.
We are considering Holden, because you can get more house for your money. We are aware that the lots tend to be smaller in Holden.
How is the town for young families? Are there nice playgrounds? Does it have a good town rec program? Crime Rate? Do people keep their house and yards maintained? No trash or broken down cars in the yards.
