Ethan Wilson best-worst Jan 18, 2026

OK so We're a young couple and Median household income is $78,467, which feels about average for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Northampton sits at 414.1 per 100K. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I overthinking this? Any help is appreciated. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development.
