Holyoke is a small town, therefore people are usually familiar. I'm 16 so I haven't experienced Holyoke as much as most residents here, but I like it a lot, except for the public schools. Literally the worst. Other than that, I love it here!
Over a year ago, my significant other and I moved into our first apartment in Holyoke - where we still currently reside. However, Holyoke is not new to me; I grew up in surrounding cities/towns in Western Massachusetts. My experience as a resident in Holyoke has been primarily pleasant - the cost of living is affordable, retail/grocery stores are plentiful, and the culture is expansive and diverse!
Holyoke has a lot of history and pride. It has an spirit that has been broken somewhat by poverty and insufficiency. Holyoke has more to offer than people think, but it is hard to find either due to parking, conditions of downtown, etc. If Holyoke had less crime and less condemned structures and more revitalization in its down town I think more people would move here. The schools seem to be getting better with the introduction of the dual language program. As far as night life is concerned- there is none! There aren't even good places to eat.
