About Worcester Apartments

Worcester, Massachusetts offers a wide variety of apartment living options in buildings both historic and modern, often embedded in or near the city’s many landmarks — making it as much about place and character as it is about square footage. Here are some features of apartments in Worcester, and how local landmarks enrich the living experience.

Architectural Character & Historic Buildings

Many apartments in Worcester are located in historic structures that have been preserved or adaptively reused. For example:

  • Brightside Apartments at 2 King Street is a Romanesque style building from 1888. It features symmetrical round bays and sandstone trim, conveying 19th-century detail and craftsmanship.
  • Bliss Building, built in 1888, is a four-story brick structure with sandstone trim and decorative brickwork. It stands as one of the few remaining apartment blocks of its era north of Lincoln Square.
  • Katz and Leavitt Apartment House (53 Elm Street) built in 1926, reflects the Venetian Gothic aesthetic, with glazed tile elements and pointed-arch entries.

These older buildings often offer higher ceilings, unique window shapes, masonry, wrought iron detailing, and other historic touches you don’t see in newer construction. Living in them often feels more entwined with Worcester’s past.

Modern & Converted Spaces

Alongside those historic gems, Worcester has newer apartments or historic conversions that bring together modern amenities and convenience:

  • The 6Hundred Apartments in downtown Worcester has undergone recent renovation. Units include modernized kitchens and bathrooms, tall windows for light, and shared amenities like garages, lounge/workspaces, and a fitness center.
  • Royal Worcester Apartments blends historic charm with sizeable floor plans and amenities like indoor pools, social spaces, and proximity to landmarks such as the Worcester Art Museum and Hanover Theatre & Conservatory for the Performing Arts.

Also, places like Chatham Lofts repurposed what was a former YWCA into loft-style studio and one-bedroom spaces, keeping character features from the old building while rethinking layout for modern living.

Proximity to Landmarks & Cultural Amenities

One of the big draws of Worcester apartments is how many are located very near or with good access to notable landmarks and cultural sites:

  • Polar Park, the home of the Worcester Red Sox (AAA affiliate), is close to several downtown and Canal District apartments.
  • The city’s many performing arts venues like Mechanics Hall, The Hanover Theatre & Conservatory for the Performing Arts, and the Worcester Art Museum are regular destinations for those living in central apartments.
  • Union Station, a restored early 20th-century station, is not just for transportation; it helps anchor the downtown area and connects many apartment dwellers to transit options.
  • Parks like Elm Park and Green Hill Park provide green space near many apartment neighborhoods; these are spots where people living nearby often go for walking, relaxing or occasional outdoor activities.

Worcester Apartment Amenity Styles & Floorplans

Apartment styles in Worcester vary quite a bit depending on the building:

  • Floorplans range from studios or lofts (especially in downtown conversions or smaller historic buildings) to one-, two-, three-bedroom units.
  • Shared amenities are common: fitness centers, lounges, sometimes indoor pools, resident workspaces, and parking (on-site or nearby garages) appear in many newer or renovated buildings.
  • In historic apartment blocks, there’s often a trade-off: unique finishes and architectural detail vs. older mechanical systems or smaller kitchens etc. Newer places or fully refurbished ones tend to offer more modern conveniences and energy efficiency.

Upcoming & Renovated Worcester Apartment Buildings

  • The Residences on Lincoln Square, set to open in early 2026, will convert the historic 1929 Worcester Boys Club into apartments for adults aged 55+. It will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom units, combining traditional architecture with modern amenity spaces like a courtyard terrace, fitness center, and club room.
  • Redevelopment efforts such as Lakeside Apartments are planned or underway, which will completely rebuild and expand existing apartment inventory.
