There are a few restaurants in town and a Walmart. Whitinsville is right off Rt 146 so central to Worceater or Providence. Rents seem average."

    "I grew up in Whitinsville, living in this area for 4 years. This location is wonderful because it is full of small homes for 1-2 people with no neighbors in front of you providing for extra parking during non snow times. It is also close to everything you might need: groceries, food, gas, and even all the little shops downtown, The only thing I can honestly say that is wrong with this area is that it is close to a lot of traffic and it is hard to obtain Taxi's/Ubers"
