Also known as Crystal Park, University Park is a community within the Main South neighborhood, which is about two miles away from Downtown Worcester. As its name implies, University Park neighbors Clark University, which gives the area a college-town feel. The area’s namesake park is a popular spot for concerts, frequent farmers markets, and summer movie screenings. University Park is one of Worcester’s most affordable locales and has a variety of lofts, apartments, condos, and townhomes available for rent. Along with its affordability, University Park is known for its incredible dining scene. Living here will place you within walking distance of a wide range of international eats including poke, tacos, jerk chicken, and more. Although many renters work or go to school at Clark University, University Park is also convenient to College of the Holy Cross, Becker College, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, so it’s a great option for anyone looking to be near campus.
