I grew up in Greenfield but currently reside in the greater Boston area. Growing up this town was fantastic! Greenfield had an overall wonderful experience of a small town feel with a tight knit community. Unfortunately, this town was hit pretty hard with the opioid epidemic and growing homeless population. The public schools have renovated but unfortunately the programs are not as strong as they once were. Whether it is a shift in interests or budgeting, it is sad to see there are not even enough kids to have a football program in Greenfield. There is a growing downtown with better nightlife (Hawks and Reed, The Hanger) which looks promising. Greenfield is attempting to clean up what was broken. I still do visit frequently and hope for a bright future for this town.
There are halfway houses, low income housing, a housing authority, an employment agency, a DTA/food stamp place, many mental health facilities, drug rehab facilities, a new homeless shelter, section 8 housing, dollar stores, and a jail.
Greenfield is a bustling town located on the Connecticut River in northwestern Massachusetts. Being the administrative center of Franklin County, Greenfield has a growing economy and a highly competitive public high school. In addition, Greenfield is surrounded by beautiful aspects of nature, since it is located in the Pioneer Valley. Nearby are various waterfalls, trails for hiking in the hills, and possibilities to observe different species of wildlife in their natural habitats. The community is tight-knitted and the people are warm and friendly. I have lived in Greenfield my whole life. I would not have traded this diverse city for any other location.
