    "Friendly neighborhood of mixed ages, familes, couples and retirees."
  • Deb E.
    "Gardner is a small town which has everything, really. Town comes complete with a large park & some smaller ones; good schools, plenty of churches, shopping, an indoor & outdoor pool; a skating rink, 2 bowling alleys, some decent restaurants, a Wal-Mart, car repair shops, all major fast food type places, etc. For a little dot on the map, its got alot. If you live in town, you can walk to most of the major stuff. Public transportation is just adequate. Not a great hot spot for entertainment or nightlife; go to Worcester for that. A nice little family town; it needs to stay that way"
