New England colonial home in Worcester County in fall

Life in Springfield, MA

Springfield calls itself the City of Firsts. It is the birthplace of basketball, home of the first national armory, and the hometown of Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. It is the largest city in Hampden County and sits on the east bank of the Connecticut River.

William Pynchon settled Springfield in 1636, and it was incorporated as a city in 1852. The Springfield Armory made small arms from 1794 until it closed in 1968, and it reopened as a National Park Service site in 1978. Basketball was invented here in 1891, a story told today at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. The city calls itself the City of Homes for its many protected houses from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Neighborhoods range from Victorian streets around Forest Park to post-war capes and ranches in Sixteen Acres and Pine Point, with a downtown built around the MassMutual Center, Symphony Hall and MGM Springfield.

Buying in Springfield: what Ryan and Megan check

  • Springfield has 24 local historic districts, including McKnight, Maple-Hill, Forest Park Heights, Ridgewood and Lower Maple. Any exterior change visible from the street needs Historical Commission approval first.
  • Much of the housing dates to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Budget for inspections of older systems, and check Massachusetts lead paint rules for homes built before 1978 if children under 6 will live there.
  • The city sits where the Connecticut, Chicopee, Westfield and Mill rivers meet. Check FEMA flood maps and insurance quotes for any parcel near a river or in low areas.
Roads

I-91 runs north-south along the river, I-291 connects downtown to the Mass Pike (I-90), and Boston Road (Route 20) is the main east side commercial road.
