South Hadley
Located in Hampshire County
Located 14 miles from downtown Springfield, the suburb of South Hadley is crisscrossed with streams and sits on the Connecticut River. Nature is a big draw for South Hadley residents, and it's access to parks full of forested areas is one of the town's unique aspects.
Homes in the middle and south of town were generally developed in a grid pattern, and homes in the north tend to be farther apart. Prices generally start at around $300,000 and top out at around $700,000. Cape Cod, Ranch, and Colonial homes are popular all over town. Vinyl siding and shingled rooves are commonly part of the picture, and many homes have two-car garages and small front porches.
The area is served by South Hadley Public Schools, which has a B rating on Niche and excellent ratings for its academics, teachers, clubs, activities and college prep, along with a student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1.

The northern tip of town is part of the hundreds of acres of forest that comprise Mount Holyoke Range and Skinner State Parks. Nature lovers can visit several parks in town, along with two conservation areas. It's no wonder there is so much green space around the area -- some impactful creatures used to roam the forests and fields. The first dinosaur footprints discovered in North America were spotted by the son of a South Hadley farmer in 1802. You can also visit the remains of America's first navigable canal at Canal Park.

The restaurant's colorful exterior welcomes residents in, and the burgers, fries and salads help them stick around. You can also head to Food 101 for a lesson in fine dining; sample Pommes Frites, wild mushroom ravioli, or spaghetti carbonara.
