Southborough Center
The civic heart of town — Town House, library, a handful of shops, and some of Southborough's most historic homes.
About Southborough Center
Southborough Center is a New England town center in the truest sense: a white-steepled church, the Town House where town meeting is held, the library, and a small cluster of local businesses along Main Street. It's not a walkable downtown in the Newton or Wellesley sense — there's no commercial strip to stroll — but it's the civic anchor that gives Southborough its identity. The homes near the center tend to be the oldest in town: antique Colonials and Federals from the 1700s and 1800s, many beautifully maintained, on lots that range from a half-acre to several acres. Living near the center means being close to the library, the community house, and the handful of local institutions that define Southborough's social life.
