need help for friend moving to Worcester in 2 weeks...Thank you

[AZtodd]

I have friend moving to Worcester and he is looking for nice part of Worcester to live. His only request is that it be in a low crime, inexpensive part of town near bus transportation to get around Worcester and into Boston.

Any suggestions? Please include cross streets of areas.

Also, he will need to live in a rental property(apartment, condo, town home...etc) until he locate a permanent residence there.  Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

Found attached rental web site interesting. Entering (Worcester, $400 to $800) got 4 locations (Feb.2,2009). If you most travel to Boston and walk to the station you need to be close to either the bus or rail station, both stations are walking distance from center of city (aka; City Hall, on Main Street).
