A practical neighborhood in the Springfield suburbs
Some Chicopee neighborhoods center around the river that propelled the city’s 19th-century mill industry, but Fairview is built around a more modern feature of the Massachusetts community: Memorial Drive. Fairview is bisected by the four-lane road that has supermarket logos, fast-food signs and shopping centers lining either side of it. Nearly every Fairview resident lives within 2 miles of Memorial Drive, the city’s primary commercial drag. Those in Fairfield also enjoy the practical benefits of living in Chicopee compared to other communities in the Springfield metro, says resident Bonnie Roux. “We have our own electric company, so our electricity is much cheaper,” says Roux, a Realtor with ERA M. Connie Laplante Real Estate. “We started our own fiber optics services for internet, so it’s quicker, cheaper and we’re not having to go in for the national companies. We also have our own sanitation department. The trash gets picked up weekly, and it’s included in taxes.”

Seafood and sandwich shops on Memorial Drive
The segment of Memorial Drive running through Fairview hosts longtime Chicopee favorites and draws new businesses expanding to town. Founded in 1935, Masse’s American Bistro serves seafood in the form of clam rolls and seared scallops at its restaurant but also sells fresh fish and shrimp at an attached market. Meanwhile, chains such as PrimoHoagies sandwich shop have selected Memorial Drive for their first local locations. The roadway is also bordered by retailers such as Walmart, Marshalls and supermarkets. A few places are off the beaten path away from Memorial Drive, including a cash-only breakfast joint called Al’s Diner.

Colonials and condos
Subdivisions fill the spaces east and west of Memorial Drive, with homes sitting on quarter-acre lots. Tree cover becomes more plentiful farther from Memorial Drive. "There are tons of trees, so you get beautiful foliage in the fall,” says Fred Gonzalez, a Realtor with Executive Real Estate who has been selling properties in the greater Springfield area for 7 years. Housing development in Fairview spanned nearly a century, starting with late 1800s Colonial Revivals before transitioning to early 20th-century bungalows and eventually midcentury ranch homes. Prices typically fall between the low $200,000s and the low $400,000s. Condos are common on the east end, with prices varying from $150,000 to $250,000.

Westover: The country's largest air reserve base
More than 4,000 people work military and civilian jobs at Westover Air Reserve Base just outside Fairview. The largest air reserve base in the nation, Westover is known locally for hosting the Great New England Air Show. More than 60,000 people come onto the base to see military aircraft on display and watch the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, a group of pilots who tour the country performing tricks and maneuvers in F-16 jets. There are usually several years between each iteration of the Great New England Air Show; the last event was held in 2018, and the next show is coming in 2027. The base has been inactive since the ‘70s, and the flight paths have been changed several times since then. “When we first bought our house, everybody said it would be so noisy because of the base," Roux says. "We’re not in the flight path at all. People in Ludlow get more air traffic noise than we get.”
