Providence to Worcester?
Hi all,
My job is in Worcester and my hubby's is in Prov, so I commute about an hour (on a good day) from RI to Worcester. However, we've recently been considering moving move in between/closer to Worcester and I was wondering if any of you had any thoughts or suggestions.
Uxbridge, MA is a nice town, we've heard, but so is Millbury & Sutton. Any other ideas? The drive is really starting to drive me nuts and his schedule is flexible enough (unlike mine) to avoid rush hour.
ANY advice is appreciated

Re: Providence to Worcester?
Any info would be appreciated. Thank you so much
Sutton has a small town feel. Schools are good (elementary and middle, especially, MS is being renovated... A lot of the high school kids go to the regional tech school or elsewhere for high school). The library runs several programs for families throughout the year, and we've just started to take advantage if them.
I'm right off a main road, but my kids can play in the yard with me really worrying (although they are young and I am always there with them). It is a bit more rural than neighboring Millbury, but not a whole lot. There are some farms, some protected lands (Purgatory Chasm is in Sutton), as well as higher developed areas with condos and apartments. I am sure there are rentals, whether they are apartments or houses I am unsure, but I don't really look out for rentals when I am driving around town. It takes about 40 minutes from my house to get to Providence driving 146, but you have both lights to contend with. There are areas in Sutton that are south if the light at Boston Rd that would bypass that traffic signal and would take between 30-40 minutes to get to Providence when traffic is moving.
Thank you so much for your help... it's tough to be new to an area and not know many people, so I really appreciate it
Our buyer's realtor was out of Worcester and took us all around the towns, but we were looking in the areas between the Mass Pike, 495 and 395. Marcia Kringle from Remax Advantage http://www.remaxadvantage.com. I think she either moved it retired though. The other agents in that office that we happened to deal with on a couple occasions were nice too.
As for restaurants, there is Tony's Sutton Pizza right at the light in 146. A few smaller diners that do breakfast. A couple places (subs/pizza and Chinese) deliver here including A&D Pizza in Millbury, and Pearl Cafe in Millbury, and Family Wok in Northbridge. In the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley in Millbury (what I refer to as the Mall on the Mountain) there are several restaurants: Applebees, TGIFridays, LongHorn, Uno's, Q'doba, Red Robin, Quiznos, Panera, and Cold Stone Creamery. A bit further north on 146 in the plaza with Walmart is an Olive Garden. There are a few restaurants on 122 in Grafton. When we go out or pick up takeout, we sometimes venture into Shrewsbury or Worcester. My husband went to school in Worcester and worked in the Marlboro area for years, so we are still more familiar with those areas.
Groceries: There is a Stop&Shop in Grafton, Shaws in Northbridge, Hannafords in Uxbridge, Market Basket in Oxford, PriceChopper in Auburn (I think), Gorettis in Millbury, Trader Joes in Shrewsbury, and Wegmans is opening in Northborough this weekend. There are more places around too. I get fish from a place in Worcester/Grafton, meat from a place in Worcester.... The Target and Walmart on 146 both have markets, with Walmart's being larger... There are lots of dairy farms and produce farms in the area too.
