Auburn boasted a population of about 16,000 people as of a 2010 census. The Worcester County town was incorporated in 1778 as Ward but underwent a name change in the 1830s. Today, Auburn is considered a medium-sized town.
Part of Auburn's popularity is its accessibility. Access via I-290, I-90, I-395, Route 12, and Route 20 make it easy to reach. Additionally, Auburn is considered part of the Worcester metropolitan area, though it remains quite suburban with multi-level homes, large front yards, and white picket fences.
In 2013, the estimated median home value in Auburn was about $240,000, lower than the average for the state. Low hills and sweeping valleys make Auburn a beautiful place to live. In fact, this area was once home to some of the country's first settlements and farms. Some of the homes show this in their architecture. Colonial homes are common, as are small farmhouses. Blue and gray homes with red and white trim are among the most popular designs available for sale, mirroring the colonial style that has been popular for centuries in Massachusetts.
