Springfield: City of Homes. A great place to live and work

With wonderful neighborhoods and world-class museums, Springfield, MA is a wonderful place to live and work.  Springfield is conveniently located minutes from the Pioneer Valley and Berkshire regions in Massachusetts and is only a couple hours away from Boston, Montreal, and New York City. 

In 2007, Country Home Magazine named Springfield the 4th "Greenest City" in the United States. One such reason is the amazing parks in the city. The largest and centerpiece of the city park system is the Olmsted designed Forest Park, which is surrounded by the Forest Park neighborhood which features a wide stock of stately historic homes.
