An hour away from Boston, Southbridge is a beautiful, wooded community. The area is a mixture of several landscapes. The town is hilly, yet flat with grassy farmland, while downtown gives an urban feel and the neighborhoods feel like a suburban escape. This small town is best known as for its historical connection to manufacturing optical products. Southbridge was once home to the world's largest manufacturer of ophthalmic products, employing thousands across the world and selling affordable eyewear for over 100 years. Today, Southbridge is no longer considered the “Eye of the Commonwealth” but is now a charming home for a close community.
Southbridge is lush, with dreamy landscapes and neighbors embrace an active lifestyle. You can find locals enjoying nature at Westville Recreation Area. This park is one of several green spaces in town and it’s a popular spot for camping, hiking, boating, and biking with waterside views. After a day of connecting with nature, residents love to grab a meal at one of the local restaurants and pubs. Fins & Tales specializes in seafood but also serves up steak and pasta dishes in a rustic-chic brick building. Beyond the hometown bars, the town is usually quiet for the majority of the year, but the community comes together for special events such as Family Fun Day. If you’re looking your next apartment in a small town, Southbridge with surely charm you.
