A quiet community with city amenities
Residents can live life at their own pace in Florence. This village within the larger city of Northampton has just about all the amenities locals can ask for but in a quieter setting than the rest of the city. Homes here sometimes come with price tags that are more accessible than other parts of the area, too. “People really like the Village of Florence. It has everything you need,” says local Realtor Julia Held of Maple and Main Realty, LLC. “It’s just kind of smaller. It has a little old-fashioned hardware store, pizza place and banks. It’s a charming little small town.”

19th and mid-20th century homes
Many of the houses in Florence are similar to those one might find in the rest of Northampton — classic constructions that date back to the 19th century. A lot of these homes have been well-maintained through the years. Florence has quite a few houses built in the mid-20th century, too, a mix of Cape Cods and ramblers. Held, who has been an agent for almost 30 years, notes that there are pockets of newer homes in the area as well, some built in the last several years. Regardless of era, homes around Florence typically range from about 1,000 square feet to more than 4,000 square feet. Houses here stand on lots that are usually 4,000 square feet at minimum and up to multiple acres in some cases. Sale prices in Florence often hover from the mid-$200,000s to the $900,000s, though some homes top $1 million.

Enroll at Northampton High
Held says that some people want to be in this area for the public schools. The Northampton Public Schools district carries an A-minus overall grade on Niche.

Finn Ryan Road School for kindergarten to fifth grade, which boasts B-plus and B grades, respectively. Both schools offer afterschool care, and Leeds has a before-school program, too. Students then advance to the B-rated John F. Kennedy Middle, which has an advisory program that meets three times a week, fostering peer and mentor connections.
