Is Worcester a nice place to live?
Worcester is a charming cathedral city with stunning scenery, an interesting history and a lively city centre. Add to that good schools, strong transport links and low crime rates and you have a place that ticks many of the boxes people look for – particularly families and first-time buyers – when moving to a new area.
A relatively small city, Worcester has a strong sense of community that newcomers will warm to quickly. That said, there’s still plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to be explored in the centre. Further out, the city retreats into beautiful countryside, with the abundance of high-quality green space in the surrounding areas a major draw.
Where are the best areas to live in Worcester?
Worcester has several highly desirable areas, ranging from the Victorian charm and central location of Barbourne to the quiet country living of Spetchley. For a mix of suburban convenience and countryside charm, St. Peter’s is a growing area at the southern edge of the city with excellent transport links and a close-knit community feel.
Ultimately, the best places to live will depend on the type of lifestyle you’re looking for – but with its blend of rural areas and city living, Worcester has something for everyone.
