Northampton is a vibrant midsized city in the Five Colleges region of scenic western Massachusetts - an attractive area of respected universities, historic towns, antique shops, winding rivers, and fresh air. Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, in the heart of the Pioneer Valley, this fertile region is marked by lush farms, wineries and beautiful valleys, forests and rolling hills, and friendly residents of varying backgrounds. You will find the best of both worlds: a blend of the urban and the rural, where history meets contemporary - a progressive, dynamic, artsy and intellectual college town that promotes healthy living and free expression.

Culturally diverse Northampton is named a “best destination” for restaurants, theater, galleries and overall quality of life!
