Description of Southborough, Massachusetts
Southborough is located 25 miles west of Boston and 15 miles east of Worcester in eastern Worcester County. With nearly 25% of the town covered by the Sudbury Reservoir, Southborough has retained a low density rural/suburban character. Located in the heart of New England and crossed by Route 9, the Massachusetts Turnpike, and Interstate 495, Southborough is a convenient location for both residence and business.
Adding to the quiet rural charm of Southborough are numerous winding scenic roads, often shared with bikers, hikers and horses and two prestigious private boarding schools that are part of a village center that has seen minimal change over the last century. An operating budget of $11 million (55% schools) provide residents with a wide range of services that are aided by considerable community involvement in church, school and government activity, all creating a small town quality of life within the Boston metropolitan region.
It is located in eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Westborough and Northborough on the west; Marlborough on the north; and Framingham, Ashland, and Hopkinton on the east, southeast, and south. From the intersection of Routes 9 and 85, Southborough is about 15 miles east of Worcester, 25 miles west of Boston, 26 miles south of Fitchburg, and about 190 miles from New York City.
