West Springfield is a small town full of people that are united as a community. Students of all ages in town participate in sports, drama clubs, community service activities, and many other extracurricular activities that the schools and the town provide. Children and teenagers are very engaged in the community and is what makes West Springfield a great town. West Springfield is a great location where it is very close to the Holyoke Mall and MGM Casino, so their is always something to do. Not to mention the endless restaurants that a spread throughout the town. The one special event that happens in this town is the Big E. This is a New England wide fair that takes place in the center of West Springfield. People from all over come and enjoy crazy food, live concerts, shows, and much more. West Springfield is a safe, fun, and loving town that has connected community all in one.
I've lived or been involved in West Springfield for almost my entire life. I moved around a lot a sa kid but my mother kept us in West Springfield schools mostly. It is a very family-friendly town. As an adult, I currently live in West Springfield and appreciate it's location. Easy access to Springfield for more of a "city vibe", has a good number of shopping, dining, nature spots. It has a more centralized town commons area, and quieter, more residential areas and plenty of places for nature walks. A good variety of environs. It's a close enough distance for day trips to either Boston, New York, or Hartford, CT so always plenty of things to do. One thing I am slightly disappointed with is the public transportation system, although I have noticed a few changes recently. Hopefully they're for the better. The other thing that is somewhat bothersome is that some places are still not completely handicap accessible. As a person in a wheelchair, I wish there was more accessibility
Nice schools and peaceful town! I feel safe when I live here. Less traffic. Many close markets, banks and gyms. There are some areas that build many new houses. Great place to live!
