Moving to Berlin, MA

About Berlin

Berlin is a small, semi-rural town about 15 miles east of Worcester and roughly 35 miles west of Boston, just off I-495. With horse farms, orchards, conservation land, and an 18th-century meetinghouse on the town green, it feels like classic New England countryside — yet the highway access and proximity to the MetroWest job corridor make it a practical commuter choice.
