Best town we have lived in to date! Schools are top notch. My son loves participating in band and chorus. Park and recs are well maintained. Soccer program is amazing for my 10 year old. Pool is clean, accessible, and great. Dog park is a treat for our pup. tax rate is very reasonable. having six flags in our backyard is great for entertaining the kiddos. I do wish there were more child care options especially for infants/toddlers and for lower income families like us. Overall very happy we made the move from CT to MA and Agawam was a wonderful choice of towns.
Agawam is a nice town and has some awesome neighborhoods. I wish there was more to do in town though. For example, Agawam Cinemas and Agawam Bowl are old and run down. This draws students to sit inside and be lazy. Robinson State Park is awesome though along with Six Flags. I would like to see less trash on the sidewalks and more people involved in the community. Also, houses in this town are very overpriced. I would like to see a decline in those prices and maybe a Chick Fil A in town.
I relocated to Agawam/ Feeding Hills in 1992. It's changed a bit not as closed to neighboring communities, I'm a person of color and I would love to see a more diverse population but all in all, it's a nice quiet place. Salt of the Earth type of people. It needs more culturally diverse activities and a cool place like shops that will promote foot traffic, a strip walk with a Five Guys, Starbucks, Panera, Home Goods, clothing store (Marshalls & Old Navy) sporting goods, and a Barnes and Noble. A neighborhood gardenn.
A Virtual Reality and Mystery Night Place. An Artsy crafts shop not scattered but all in one place with parking in the Feeding Hills Part of Town.
