Auburn
Auburn is what Worcester County calls a retail suburb, which is a polite way of saying the Auburn Mall and the Route 12/20/290 interchange did most of the city planning. The southern flank of the metro, it draws shoppers from half a dozen smaller towns and gives them somewhere to park. Daters with a car treat it as neutral ground, close enough to the city for ambition, far enough for a chain restaurant without apology. The housing stock is modest, the commute is honest, and nobody has ever moved to Auburn for the skyline. That is, mercifully, not the point.
