New Marlborough is a very small town located in the state of Massachusetts. With a population of 1,458 people and just one neighborhood, New Marlborough is the 300th largest community in Massachusetts. New Marlborough has a large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
Housing costs in New Marlborough are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Massachusetts.
New Marlborough is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, New Marlborough is a town of professionals, sales and office workers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in New Marlborough who work in management occupations (12.19%), sales jobs (10.94%), and office and administrative support (9.14%).
Of important note, New Marlborough is also a town of artists. New Marlborough has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape New Marlborough’s character.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 20.23% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that New Marlborough is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
Because of many things, New Marlborough is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, New Marlborough really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is New Marlborough perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, New Marlborough has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes New Marlborough a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
