About Vernon

Hill

Vernon Hill, located between Kelley Square and Clark University, is a historic and residential Worcester neighborhood with brick triple-deckers and hilltop views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kelley Square rotary and Green Street, where corner markets, longtime eateries, and auto shops set a working-city rhythm. Architectural texture runs from late-19th-century multifamilies to sturdy industrial-era blocks edging the Canal District. Crompton Park adds a green pause above the street grid, while nearby arts and campus energy spill in from Clark. New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill sits just beyond the neighborhood’s orbit for a weekend reset.
