There's no possibility of getting from Athol to Northampton in 25 minutes.

There are two basic routes from Athol to Northampton. Either you take 202 onto Rte 9, then Rte 9 from Belchertown, through Amherst and Hadley and over the Coolidge Bridge. Or, you go Rte 2 to I-91S to the Damon Rd exit.

Either way it's an hour's drive.

Been to Eureka twice, most beautiful area

Northampton is similar- more Liberal, more cerebral-
Climate of course is colder- housing costs will be about the same, taxes on real estate higher, sales tax lower.

great place to live.

Come to Northampton! Good schools, and we can always use more bassists (really). Try the Florence or Leeds sections of town, as mentioned.

I know this comment is several years old, but I find it very hard to believe that someone can't live in Northampton with a $90k/salary. It's not that expensive unless you're trying to live way outside of your means.
