Ok everyone: Torrey Lofts

Hi everyone, I have been considering moving to Worcester for quite some time now from Western mass. I am specifically looking at Torrey Lofts right now, I like their layout, their prices aren’t terrible, I have no pets, etc.

Only thing is: location. Corner of Pedmont and Chandler St. A guy i know who grew up in Auburn in the 80s-90s said that is a horrible area and to never move there.

Any one know anything about this area today and if I should look elsewhere? Thanks
