Feels very friendly, the village is always full of smiling cheerful people and beautiful landscape. I love it here!
Grew up here, very peaceful community. The schools are well funded but administration makes interesting decisions. Diversity is almost non existent. This impacts the food, which is not diverse at all, any good Asian cuisine is found in neighboring towns/cities.
I love it here! The community is very inclusive and holds many events to welcome citizens and non-citizens. I wish we had any diversity at all, but we have mostly white citizens. In our school systems, we are very inclusive of LGBTQ+ individuals and celebrate them through clubs and activities. In all, Amherst is a highly community-based town with beautiful seasons and walk-able streets.
