Quality of Life in the Pioneer Valley

The Holyoke Health Communities are nestled in Massachusetts's scenic Pioneer Valley, one of the most picturesque stretches of the majestic Connecticut River Valley.  An ideal place to live and raise a family, the area offers an enticing combination of big-city cultural offerings, small-town New England Charm and immediate access to many scenic and historical attractions, as well as the recreational opportunities of the great outdoors.

Just steps from the ivy-covered buildings of prestigious colleges and universities, Holyoke Health staff enjoy easy access to Boston and New York City, the snow covered slopes of Vermont, and beaches of Cape Cod and the Islands.

There are many options when it comes to choosing a place to live.  Whether you decide to purchase a home or rent, the distinctive mix of urban and rural areas and easily accessible cultural and recreational activities make the Pioneer Valley a uniquely pleasant place to live and work.  Our physicians and staff live in Holyoke, Chicopee and areas of Springfield.

Many of our physicians and staff also live in the five college community of Northampton, Amherst, Hadley, and South Hadley, or in the nearby communities of Easthampton and Deerfield.

In addition to the five college community, which has top rated school systems, physicians and staff with families also choose to live in the surrounding suburbs of Longmeadow and Wilbraham, both of which have excellent school systems.
