While Boston and Cape Cod tend to get most of Massachusetts’ limelight, the western region of the state has a lot to offer. Just outside of the hustle and bustle of Boston and Metro West lies this quaint area filled with scenic towns. The area is substantially more rural and sparsely settled than other parts of the Bay State. Life is much quieter in Western Massachusetts making it a desirable place to live for families looking to settle down with some space. Simply put, Western Massachusetts offers residents a different way of life.

Western Mass. is also highly populated with students due to the fact that it is home to 22 colleges and universities, including UMass Amherst, Amherst, Smith College, Williams College and Westfield State University. The area is also known as a popular vacation spot, with the Berkshire Mountains offering visitors many activities to enjoy all-year-round.

Many of the cities and towns located in Western Massachusetts are actually closer to Albany, NY than Boston. Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden and Berkshire Counties make up nearly half of Massachusetts’ landscape, yet most of its cities and towns rank at the bottom of state’s list in terms of total population.
