Assabet Hill
Northern Northborough — newer subdivisions, larger lots, and proximity to the Assabet River and Berlin conservation land.
About Assabet Hill
Assabet Hill covers the northern tier of Northborough, where the landscape opens up and the Assabet River marks the boundary with Berlin. This is where much of Northborough's newer development has concentrated: subdivisions built from the 1990s through the 2010s, with Colonial and garrison Colonial homes on half-acre to one-acre lots. The streets have names like Meadow Brook Lane and Deer Run — the developer aesthetic — but the homes themselves are solid: 4-bedroom Colonials with two-car garages, finished basements, and the functional family floor plans that the market demands. Assabet Hill is Northborough's answer to the question 'where do we get the most house for our money?' and the answer is usually pretty compelling.
