Springfield Overview

Located in southwestern Massachusetts, and resting on the banks of the Connecticut River, is the city of Springfield. It is the largest city in Western New England and the third largest in Massachusetts. Just 24 miles north of Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, the two cities make up an area known as the Pioneer Valley. Springfield is considered the urban, economic, and cultural center of Western New England, with a high concentration of corporate businesses, universities, and museums.

With numerous parks, attractive architecture, and historical points of interest around every corner, apartments in Springfield are exciting and sought after.

In 1777, George Washington established the National Armory here, and for 200 years it produced most of the country’s military firearms. Facing bankruptcy by the early 2000s, the city is now experiencing an impressive period of revitalization.
