too bad Newburyport and New Bedford don't have good streetview coverage!
I also like the upstate New York ones.
Nice historic architecture. Nantucket, Plymouth, Northampton and Gloucester I thought were really nice. Very similar to Upstate NY communities in set up.
Back in the 50s & 60s there were quite a few non-student residents. There were still some single family homes. My family owned a small apartment building (4 units). We lived on the first floor and rented out the upper floors. There was also an elementary school a couple of blocks from our building, and a hospital a couple of blocks beyond that. I think Collegetown is now about 97% students.
I think these are my favorites. As extensively as I've traveled in New England I actually haven't spent much time in these towns, with the exception of Plymouth. I need to explore them some more.
Very cool thread. I find it funny how the idea of what is a small town in people's area differs greatly. Some of the "small towns" in the NYC area are WAY bigger than the largest "cities" in my area.
Here are some of the towns around this area, including the "big" one of Ludington, MI (which is still only about 8000 people). Most of the real small towns Google Streetview doesn't go through, so there is no way to post the very small towns in the area.

Definitely. I was originally going to restrict my post to what I consider "small towns," but after seeing the towns that others were sharing I just had to include the big cities of Portsmouth and Keene.

Well, there aren't really any "small towns" in NYC metro; these are more regular sized towns. But you're right, I feel like the suburbs outside the city are more urban than a lot of cities in the country that I've been to.
