Curious what people think. I'm a 33-year-old firefighter and It's a a small town city with about 10,366 people. With a population of 10,366, Northampton is a small town. Rent is about $1,156/month for a decent place. Household incomes average around $82,719 in Northampton. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Worth the trade-offs? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
