What do you think, did I miss any towns that should be on the top 10 most affordable towns' list? Correction - North Adams is on the border of Vermont and not New Hampshire.

I'm not only Massachusetts born but grew up and currently live in Western Mass, and I can tell you there is a reason these places are affordable. Because, a lot on these are crappy or have very crappy areas. I'd avoid Holyoke, Chicopee, and Athol altogether.

@franceswellinger5909 9 ай бұрын

Totally agree. Someone who has been born and brought up in Holyoke. Holyoke in the 60s/70s was a nice place to live, not anymore. I’ve lived in Massachusetts for 55 years, and A LOT has changed. I still live in Massachusetts, but now I live in what we call the “Hill towns”. Most of the places she mentions are shit holes, and still are expensive.

@Keepitlight3277 7 ай бұрын

I attended Springfield College back in the late '90s through the early 2000s. I always tell people when it comes to Western Mass, it can be pretty rough. After school, I moved to West Springfield and I can remember flat out there were some places I would not even think of moving in. But for some folks, they don't mind the crime and the grime.

@genew5758 6 ай бұрын

Chicopee actually has some very nice areas. Not all of Chicopee is bad. You're right about Holyoke, though. Stay far away from Holyoke. The places she listed are affordable for a reason. Very few people want to live there.

@jeffersonjohns6397 5 ай бұрын

I agree wholeheartedly. The majority of these locations are dangerous and unacceptable.

@saywhatnow7365 3 ай бұрын

Not to be disrespectful but anyone viewing this I would highly encourage to research the crime statistics in these towns. As a former Trooper previously assigned in central mass, MANY of not all of these towns have high and diverse crime.

Yes! Totally with you, everyone should do their research regarding crime before considering any town.

My son lives in western Massachusetts since 2017 and I learned to realize with time that is a great place to live . Affordable houses compared to other parts of the country like Florida or California. Yes it a quieter type of life but super nice . So I wouldn’t be so negative about Massachusetts. 😊

Having lived in various W. MA areas there is a reason some of these are cheap. No one wants to live there by choice. North Adams, Athol, and Pittsfield. Old mill towns after the mill industry vanished, think long and hard.

I didn't read all the comments yet but, Did Holyoke pay you to put their town on your list? Noune K? I thank you for letting the people know about checking with the police first. I lived in Chicopee for 25 years and everything is affordable. Never had to take my gun out in Chicopee but Springfield twice in 1982 and 1987. Chicopee is cheaper on Electric, Car insurance, and more.

I am from the third poorest town in Massachusetts Orange and even there the homes have skyrocketed in value for example my mom's home she bought a 1984 for 64,000 It was worth $65,000 in 2018 now she's selling it and it's appraised for about $275,000! The town is still as poor in crappy as ever if you can get an online job it's a cheap place to live otherwise you go to drive to Worcester to get a good job to talking about an hour drive each way everyday.

It is possible and very lucrative as long as all steps and details are followed and then I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment.

What a horribly uninformative video. Who considers an entire state when choosing where to live? Most people need to live near a specific city, for work. Don't bother watching this, she just spews some Wikipedia stats about small towns in western, MA. Save yourself the time and Google search if you are moving to central or western MA!

Thanks for watching my video, David, sorry you hated it, I am an expert in Real Estate and Massachusetts. I do take info from different sources and do the research for my viewers, so they don't have to, it's a free service I provide for the benefit of my community. Many people will find it useful to have the latest median home prices and to know which towns are the most affordable in MA, especially those who are remote workers and are not tied down to specific city for work. Or, those who want to retire in MA.

Western Mass is less expensive but you either move there with a stack of cash or plan to drive a LONG way to work. There’s not a lot of high paying jobs there.
