What Fitchburg homes need
Fitchburg's housing includes many late-1800s and early-1900s multifamily homes and Victorians from its mill era, plus post-war homes in outer neighborhoods.
Fitchburg is built on hills along the Nashua River, with neighborhoods such as Cleghorn, the Upper Common area and West Fitchburg. Many late-1800s and early-1900s multifamily homes and Victorians here face strong winter wind on exposed hillsides.
Worcester County homes heated with oil or propane often see the fastest payback from sealing air leaks, because every gallon saved is money that stays in the house.
