The Good, The Bad and The Reality 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) If you like small-town living, West Springfield is the best place, in my opinion.

The school system is really good though, which is shocking but justified. Teachers and many parents are active in their children’s education which is a nice change from where I’m originallyfrom.

As for entertainment, there’s the Holyoke Mall, and the annual Big E fair, which brings a lot of people to town, but also in equal parts, traffic. Read Less
