Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from San Diego about 2 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Diverse dining options
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices
Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. No regrets on my end..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. the quality of life is solid. Compared to Boston it's hit or miss.

I've lived in Greenfield for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Pittsburgh, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The healthcare scene is average
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Road conditions need improvement
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for singles. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I have mixed feelings honestly. Internet is average in most areas.

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad.
