Buying in Worcester
A historic city with bags of charm, Worcester consistently ranks high in surveys for resident happiness due to its picturesque countryside and architecture, combined with its low crime rate. Worcester is within day-trip distance of the Malvern hills, the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean, making it perfect for avid hikers.
Worcester has also gained a reputation as being a hub for independent shopping. Take a stroll down Friar Street, New Street, Hopmarket and Reindeer Court to find beautiful one-of-a-kind wares. The town is also filled with traditional pubs aplenty, stocking lots of local beers and ciders. If live music is your thing, the Worcester Music Festival is held each September showcasing bands and artists from the area. For a city with a population of just 100,000, there really is something to suit every need.

Transport in Worcester
The city is well located in the midlands, with easy train and motorway routes to both the north and south of England, as well as Wales, connected via the M5 and M42. The town is serviced by good bus links around the region, but the city is small enough that walking or cycling is the preferred mode of transport by many, as traffic can get bad around the city centre - especially if you need to cross the river.
Locals take advantage of the town’s three train stations: Worcester Foregate Street, Worcester Shrub Hill, and Worcestershire Parkway. Trains to London take around 2 and a half hours, and trains to Birmingham are just under an hour. Because of the regular and reliable Birmingham trains, the town has become a hub for commuters who want a slower pace of life away from the big city.
Living in Worcester
Worcester’s old-world charm and beautiful canal ways make it a great place to visit, but more than ever before, people from outside of the area are deciding to relocate to the city. It’s excellent schools and active communities — combined with its lively city centre full of shops, bars and restaurants — are some of the many reasons why it’s regarded as a wonderful place to live.
Buyers are snapping up properties in the centre, with riverside apartments being popular with first-time buyers. The areas of Northwick, Claines, Bevere and Barbourne are fantastic for families, though here, properties are likely to be above the national average in terms of price.
