Pittsfield Overview

While traveling to the Berkshires, all must pass through Pittsfield, Massachusetts, with many falling instantly in love with this region, and for good reason. With its bustling downtown area and attractive greenspaces all around, it is no wonder over 44,000 people proudly call this region home. Publications all around rank this city high as a great place to start a business, enjoy life after retirement, and everything in between. It even secured the number one spot on the Arts Vibrancy Index in 2017 for its phenomenal arts and culture scene.

What is the history of Pittsfield?

Long before beautiful apartments in Pittsfield became a reality, it served as the land of the Mahican tribe until the early 1700s. After that, Colonel Jacob Wendell purchased much of the land that is now the gorgeous cityscape in 1738. Then, the village started to expand, becoming an incorporated township less than 25 years later. The region was largely developed as an agricultural area, as the brooks made it easy for lumber mills to set up shop. Woolen manufacturers joined the fray in 1807 as settlers brought in flocks of Merino sheep. By the early 1900s, the landscape had largely changed, becoming the metropolis that is known and loved today.

How is the weather in Pittsfield?

With the sun comes high temperatures at a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit, while winter drops them to 11 degrees at the coldest.  

How do I get around town?
