Great suburban community. Easy access to Springfield MA, Hartford CT and Worcester MA. Residents truly care about the community and many families are generational. Strong representation of Portuguese heritage but the town is welcoming to others. Several beautiful neighborhoods of custom, new construction homes have been built in the last 10 years but there are still wooded areas to enjoy a walk in the woods. Best western MA suburb in my opinion!
Overall Ludlow has been nothing but special to me throughout my childhood. From having all my family living nearby to meeting all the closest friends in this town. I do not dread going to Ludlow High School, I actually quite enjoy it. Seeing a lot of people that are fun to be around and the teachers are all very understanding. Overall Ludlow is a great place to be and couldn’t imagine growing up anywhere else.
The people in this town can be very nice. The scenery is lovely, and the schools are incredible. The Portuguese food & culture available here are great. Unfortunately, there's a growing & vocal group of people who are interested in suppressing all LGBTQ+ information in the schools, acting outright homophobic. It can be a little hostile at times. Overall, it was a great place to grow up, though.
