New England rural charm in Eastern Springfield

Once a paper mill town, the community of Wilbraham has a rich history from its agricultural roots to the industrial workers at the Colling Paper Company. While some farms still exist in the area today, the greatest fruit of labor within Wilbraham is education. Since the early 18th century, residents of Wilbraham have taken education seriously and the advanced Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District attracts many young families to the area. Residents of Wilbraham take pride in their history seen through the preservation of their immense green space and local businesses, all while capitalizing on the close proximity to major highways like U.S. Interstate-90. “Wilbraham provides residents with a small-town feel while accommodating trips to major cities like Boston on I-90,” says Ann Turnberg, long-time local Realtor with over 35 years of experience at the Turnberg & Swallow Team at Coldwell Banker.

The community offers homes built as recently as 2020, as well as many homes built in the 1950s and 1960s.

With a median sales price of $415,000, price points here can range from the mid $200,000s to upwards of $800,000 depending on the age, size and location of the property.
