Is Northampton a good place to live?
Hey, I grew up here but left for a while. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $225,400, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Northampton sits at 50.5 per 100K. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Sprawl everywhere
- Poor road conditions
