Current Resident: 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.... Read 45 reviews

Current Resident: Turners Falls is a small cozy town, that everyone knows everyone. There are pros and cons to that. There isn't a whole lot to do in the town and stores are about 30 min away. We have some mom and pop businesses which I love to support local businesses but many of them are quite expensive so someone living on a budgit may struggle when it comes to just clothes shopping. Turners does have events downtown that really add to that cozy feel I was talking about earlier. Unfortunately there isn't as much of a variety of jobs and because the income is lower in Western Mass so is the salary. This is a bit of a downer because you still doing the same job as other parts of the state and expected to bring the same amount of quality but for much lower income. The safety is pretty comforting there isn't a whole lot and if your driving around you are bound to run into at least one officer.... Read 25 reviews

Current Resident: Rowe is a Western Massachusetts town that's very small. It's been very nice living in a town that's so small I don't feel very worried about the people who are around me. It's been very nice being able to have these commodities of being someone who lives in a rural town. However, I do find it sad how they've treated us as a town member. It's interesting because I live at the cusp of Charlemont and Rowe, so they typically act as if we don't live in Rowe. They actually have expressed this by exempting us from using the Rowe pond exclusive for only Rowe town members. My physically address is in Rowe though. I just wished they had accepted us more into the community especially since we still get calls from their local facilitator of the town, but they still act like this.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: I have resided in New Salem for nearly my entire life, so let us just call it an even 33 out of 35 years! My family has also lived here for many years. I was raised in the same home my mom grew up in. This town just gained many "brownie points" for FINALLY installing fiber-optic internet! That was the one thing I would have improved about living here. I love country living in general. I think New Salem is a wonderful place to raise a family. The crowning jewel of our historical town center is the 1794 Meetinghouse. It is time we re-open and get back to bringing art and music to our community!... Read 4 reviews

Visitor: We have visited Shelburne Falls over the last 5 or so years and it has been on our shortlist of possible places to retire to. As we've talked to people in the town to learn what it's like to live there, it seems to be a friendly and community spirited place. It is becoming very popular and competitive on the real estate front - a testament to it's charm. Great restaurants and two bookstores plus beautiful natural surroundings are just a few plusses. Having watched the prices over the last 5 years, I can safely say that homes that used to sit on the market for months are being sold in a few days. So this can tell you something about it being a desirable community - it is! Not that I want the prices to go up even more with a lot of positive reviews like this one! I can't speak to the school systems but the town is safe, peaceful, and we hope to move there someday soon.... Read 4 reviews

Senior: I liked the merge with St. Peter Marion HS. I was able to see friends that I went with to a previous school again. It made us feel like a larger community. It wasn't as difficult that I thought it would be. The transition actually went pretty smooth. We got to meet new teachers and new kids too. And the name change to St. Paul occurred when I was there. I can actually say I attended the very first year of a newly named school. The merger also brought new ideas of how to manage classes and focus on what we needed as students. Our input was included on what we thought would help and benefit us all. I have learned a lot while attending this school. I have actually opened up more to be involved with others and my junior and senior years have been the best so far. I look forward to graduating in May and what my future holds. I've been accepted to several Colleges and that's exciting. St. Paul has guided and encouraged me to do what will be best for me. Thank you St. Paul. I'm grateful!... Read 5 reviews

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!... Read 25 reviews
