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.

The city itself is not bad, it's just gotten a reputation for being full of bad people and I think that gives the few bad people that live here the green light to act as they please. And that's all the media sees

I see cops driving around often enough, they are pretty busy in this city. I have concerns with police action and minorities, and they are easily pinning crimes on the stereotypical criminal, using evidence and facts over instinct

A very friendly area....if you are white. Some crime but relatively safe. Almost all white folks and scattered racists.

there is a good variety of stores around my area. There are more local smaller shops which are quite nice. The larger stores are a bit older and outdated. i typically can get all my needs nearby except for sewing and art shops are farther away
