In many ways the characteristics of the Whalom District more closely reflect characteristics of these cities than of the rest of Lunenburg. The Hickory Hills area of Town, around Hickory Hills Lake, was developed as a private community comprised largely of vacation cottages. The third body of water to be mentioned is Shirley Reservoir; a public water body also developed with mainly vacation cottages that have now been modified to year-round residences.

The remainder of Lunenburg which originally consisted largely of farms and orchards has slowly developed into large lot single family housing. Commercial and industrial development is permitted in several areas of town primarily along the two major arteries (Routes 2A and 13), and the Town's peripheries, due largely to the close proximity of Leominster's and Fitchburg's sewer and water systems.

Lunenburg Mass is located in North central Massachusetts, bordered by Townsend on the north, Shirley on the east, Leominster and Lancaster on the south, and Fitchberg and Ashby on the west. Lunenburg is about 29 miles north of Worcester, 43 miles northwest of Boston, and 203 miles from New York City.
