From Colonial-Revival to Craftsman

Home prices typically fall in the mid $200,000 to upper $600,000 range. Closer to downtown, homes sit against urban sidewalks and might have low stone walls in front of them. In this area, find four-square properties or multi-family homes with Victorian influences. Moving away from Main Street, things spread out, and shady tree branches cross two-lane roads. Homes in this area might sit in established subdivisions with sidewalks and wide, walkable streets. Common styles include Colonial-Revival and modern Craftsman homes.

Tarot, treats and takeout

Marked by the Providence and Worcester railroad bridge, Uxbridge’s historic downtown area has Colonial architecture, old churches, and government buildings. “Uxbridge has a great local pizza place, UXLocale, that makes homemade, fresh pizzas and salads,” says Emanuel. “Everything is organic – farm to table.” Located just north of the neighborhood’s boundaries, this is a local favorite for dine-in and carryout. On South Main Street, The Fudge Lady is another community staple. A family-owned and -operated dessert spot, the shop has vendor tables at various neighborhood events and festivals. To eat at home, grab groceries from Hannaford on North Main Street. Cats greet patrons at A Touch of Magick.
