A mix of charming homes and natural scenery
In 1926, Johnson & Johnson endeavored to build a new kind of factory and worker village. As opposed to the imposing, multi-storied and poorly ventilated mills of the mid-19th century, Chicopee Mill was designed with the well-being of its workforce in mind. A single-story, well-sit and ventilated mill, along with residential streets designed by a landscape specialist, made Chicopee Village’s founding resemble a college campus rather than a factory town. Residents today live along the winding streets of the old mill village, now a quiet suburb where many of the old mill homes are being renovated. Grace Orban, a Realtor at Red 1 Realty with over 20 years of experience, says, "Communities all over Gainesville have been recently revitalized. Places like Chicopee Village have this charming mix of historic and environmentally appealing qualities."
Historic mill village with an active and thriving community
Johnson & Johnson hired a landscape architect to design the village, creating a community that blended easy access to nearby workplaces with manicured green spaces. The company also built around 250 homes for the community, and many of these century-old homes have been preserved and renovated. Trees dot residential streets lined with these historic homes along with more contemporary bungalows and cottages, all featuring backyards with enough space for children to play or for a small garden. Home prices are lower than the Gainesville average, ranging from $130,000 to $290,000 depending on the size of the property and the number of rooms.
Chicopee Village has many historic homes preserved and renovated over the past few years.
Residents of Chicopee Village also enjoy time outside spending it around the neighborhood.
