Uxbridge is a Blackstone Valley town of approximately 14,000 residents straddling the Mumford and Blackstone Rivers in southern Worcester County. It's a community with deep historical roots — the Blackstone Canal once ran through town, and the area played a central role in America's early industrial revolution. Today, that heritage is preserved through the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor, while the town itself has evolved into an affordable and attractive place to live.
The housing market in Uxbridge offers genuine diversity. You'll find everything from antique homes in the center of town to ranch-style houses from the mid-20th century, newer subdivisions, and rural properties on larger parcels. The median home price of approximately $400,000 makes Uxbridge accessible to a wide range of buyers, including first-time homeowners who might be priced out of communities closer to Boston or even Worcester.
Route 146 provides the primary commuting corridor, connecting Uxbridge to Worcester in about 20 minutes and Providence in roughly 30. West Hill Dam, the Blackstone River Greenway, and River Bend Farm Visitor Center offer outdoor recreation, while the town center has seen revitalization with new restaurants and small businesses. For buyers seeking value, character, and natural beauty, Uxbridge is one of the Blackstone Valley's best-kept secrets.
