A great town making unfortunate decisions. Sadly I don’t see it turning around. We have loved walking our little one to preschool which is located a few blocks away. Now they are relocating the preschool and elementary to a more suburban-feeling, unwalkable location. Moreover, they’re turning this elementary school (located in a quiet residential area) into an ‘alternative school’ for troubled teens and young adults. We have had our car broken into and several mid-day break-ins on our street. This has always been the kind of neighborhood where you could keep your doors unlocked, but it gets less family friendly each year. We’re considering moving to a small town that values its neighborhoods and small town way of life.
Very Cute, safe, and fun. I have lived in Northfields for many years. Even though it very liberal there are people on the entire political spectrum. Everyone knows everyone here but it is not a small enough town where everyone knows too much about everyone which is good. The public school academics are amazing but the High school building needs to be updated. The colleges elevate the towns progressive nature but keep to themselves. The downtown area is one of my favorite spots I love the environment and shops. There is always something to do especially regarding the arts.
I like that Northfield has two colleges and it's filled with really nice and welcoming people. I like that it has a downtown where you can walk around with friends and it's nice. I would like for more fun things to be available, especially since there's so many young people in Northfield. For example, more restaurants or bars or more entertainment in general.
