A peaceful east Springfield enclave
Located on Springfield’s east side, Pine Point is a small neighborhood split by two busy roads: Boston Road, Springfield’s main commercial corridor, and Berkshire Avenue. Despite being on the main route from Springfield to Boston in the 1800s, Pine Point remained sparsely inhabited until the turn of the century. Today, interspersed among the bungalows and cape houses of Pine Point are apartment buildings, townhomes and condominiums, all in a highly convenient area.
“Pine Point sits very close to I-95, the major highway, and it’s just a few minutes down the road from downtown Springfield, MGM Grand Casino and a lot of jobs, shops, and stores,” says Richard “Rich” Lovely, owner of Live Lovely Realty who calls nearby Holyoke his hometown and has sold homes all over the Pioneer Valley. “If you head further in the opposite direction into Wilbraham, they used to have a mall that got converted to another large shopping facility on Wilbraham Road, and there’s also 16 Acres, all minutes from each other. It’s close to everything virtually.”
Craftsman bungalows meet apartments and condos
Pine Point is known for its American Craftsman bungalows, many built in the early 1900s. The neighborhood would see another wave of home development around 1950, with ranch and cape houses being the predominant style of choice. What the neighborhood lacks in sidewalks and yard space, it makes up for in space for colorful bushes or a shed, as well as mature tree cover. Most options range in price from $250,000 to $400,000.
Many homes in Pine Point feature expansive front yards, perfect for raising a family.
Most homes in Pine Point have gated driveways that lead to a connected or separated garage.

From Five Mile Pond to Breckwood Park
