Moving Agawam vs E. Longmeadow (Boston, Springfield: condo, neighborhood, schools)

[kariblu]

Will be relocating to So. Mass considering Agawam or E. Longmeadow areas. My husband will be working in CT so we need to be close to the boarder. Prefer a single family or possibly a condo for about $230k. Looking for good neighborhood close to restaurants, parks and shopping. I have read alot of negatives about Springfield, what about West Springfield? Looking for comments to help us in making our decision.

I have been li8ving in Agaawam/Feeding Hills(part of Agawam) for about80 years--my family has been here ovef 100.--I love living here-my children went to school here(schools are excellent)-shopping is a short distance-Westfield-7 miles--Large Mall 10 miles-smaller malls inSpringfieold andEnfieled, Ct.--It is less expensive to live here than in Connecticut--everything is higher there - gas about 20t0 25 cents higher a gallon.
