Hampden County Reviews
Rating 3.43 out of 5 7 reviews
It an average town not much to do, schools are good. You have to drive to go do something, but some restaurants and cafes are really good.
Some parts of Hampden County are very nice and safe to live in. Massachusetts holds their schools at higher standards than National standards so this is good for families looking for good schools. It is not a very busy place to live in comparison to busier cities and can be boring with not much to do.
Public schools in the region are abusive to students with ADD/ADHD, unless private education is an option, then ...
Nightlife? What nightlife?
Real Estate Market, well, I'll just say that more people are selling compared to buying. Healthy Living, it's alright? Healthcare is surprisingly decent in the area, despite the lacking infrastructure and employment? Safety is a good question. You see, I don't see much of it in Chicopee myself, but Springfield is a Turbulent environment with lots of social issues :/
I can't really say much for Family-Friendliness since I'm just 20 ...
Hampden County is actually priced well, under the national average when it comes to Housing pricing, but that's still subjective. Social Wellbeing is lower in this region of the state compared to other more prosperous areas (like Boston/Worcester/Lowell) Hmm, Diversity isn't something that's really taken into consideration in general, but I'd say the area is a Haven for Hispanics?
