Westborough has the good fortune of being strategically located at the crossroads of major transportation networks, but maintains a good balance between fast-paced urban life and suburban residential areas. The community is known as a good place to live, with high levels of community participation, good municipal services including excellent schools and a pride in its history (which includes Eli Whitney and Admiral Denfeld). The community has attracted high technology manufacturing and corporate headquarters as well as a wide mix of other commercial enterprises. The positive community climate continues to encourage business growth on the one hand, while also encouraging pleasant open areas spacing attractive residential developments.
