A mill worker’s neighborhood takes on new life
Chicopee Falls straddles the north and south sides of the Chicopee River, the waterway that began powering the city’s textile mill industry in the 1820s. People settled in Chicopee Falls to work in the mills and factories along the river. They’re no longer in operation, so the neighborhood north of Springfield, Massachusetts, has evolved. Nineteenth-century worker housing was renovated or built over, and two developers are turning a former cotton fabric factory site into housing. “There's an industrial side to the area," says Fred Gonzales, an agent with Executive Real Estate who has been selling properties in Chicopee for 7 years. "There are some old run-down industrial buildings they're turning into new apartment buildings.” The transformation from an industrial hub to a residential neighborhood is further complemented by the ongoing renovations to Szot Park.

Reviving the waterways at Szot Park
Even before it became a public green space in the 1930s, Szot Park served as a hangout for Chicopee residents. The family who owned the land before used its pond to harvest and sell ice. Hundreds of locals would trespass onto the property on Sunday afternoons to ice skate in the winter and swim in the summer. However, failing dams and worsening water quality eventually rendered the pond unusable. Today, Szot Park is better known for its playground and baseball and softball fields, but its water features are getting an upgrade. The city recently started an ongoing project to restore the brook that connects the pond to the Chicopee River. This will improve the water quality, and the city plans to add waterside trails, more trees and an outdoor classroom. Four other smaller parks are spread across Chicopee Falls.

Fourth of July, Halloween celebrated in Chicopee Falls
Several large events come to Szot Park throughout the year. The annual Fourth of July fireworks show over the park’s baseball field is a tradition experienced by generations of residents. “I remember being a kid lying in Szot Park on a blanket watching fireworks,” Chicopee Mayor John Vieau says. The city has expanded its events calendar in the past decade with festivities such as the Spooktacular. Around Halloween, a couple of thousand trick-or-treaters come to the park, where vendors hand out candy and attendees brave a haunted bus.

From mill housing to new construction
The two-family Victorian houses mill workers once called home are still a common housing option. They typically cost between $215,000 and $450,000. Additional single-family homes were built over the past century, including Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ranches, selling for $250,000 to $400,000. Some Colonial-inspired new builds have been added on the east side, priced from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$500,000s.
Price points draw many buyers to the neighborhood on Chicopee’s southern edge, Gonzalez says. "Chicopee Falls is on the outskirts of town, so you'll find investor properties and starter homes.” The average home value is about $300,000, lower than the Springfield metro’s average of $400,000 or the national average of $550,000. A few homes are at risk of flooding, so buyers may want to research flood zones and insurance options.

Italian dining, Korean groceries in Chicopee Falls
Chicopee Falls’ mill industry drew immigrants from across Europe and Canada, and it remains a mix of cultures. That’s evident in the city's food scene, where restaurants serve cuisine from Korean to Nuevo Latino. Milano’s opened in Chicopee Falls in 1987, quickly becoming a local favorite for pizza.
First Oriental Grocery sells traditional Korean ingredients, and there are two supermarkets within a mile of the neighborhood: Big Y to the north and Stop & Shop to the south. Both grocery stores are in shopping centers alongside mixes of small shops and big-box stores. Examples include Madrag clothing store and Walmart.
