Mature trees line the streets
Predominantly residential, Northampton has businesses scattered on the outskirts while homes line the streets at the center. Mature trees line broad, two-way streets with narrow sidewalks on either side, allowing for ease of walkability. The Tudors are some of the most distinct houses, evoking a fairy tale cottage with its stone archways, foundations and chimneys. Homes on Northampton’s northeast side were built in the 1950s and later, with wood bungalows and Cape Cods prominent. Two-bedroom, two-bathroom homes usually sell for $150,000 to $300,000, while three-bedroom, two-bathroom houses – some of the most popular in the area – fetch between $250,000 to $450,000.

In the local area, there are many restaurants, bars, and businesses to choose from. There is also close public transportation access that is very reliable. The local area has a lot of diverse ethnic varieties to choose from. If more bar/night-life options are desired, it is only about a four to five mile drive to the Central West End, Soulard, Downtown, and other areas.
