Neighborhood Reviews
Home to rolling fields, dense forests and a quiet atmosphere, Southampton is a quaint Massachusetts town ideal for homebuyers looking for a relaxing place to live.
Homes in Southhampton start at around $450,00, which will get you around four beds and one bath with 2,000 square feet, and properties top out at around $770,000. You can find beautiful homes along Pomeroy Meadow Road. The area is home to large Colonial homes with spacious yards. Ranch homes are a common sight on Southampton's streets, and some in the neighborhood get into the Halloween spirit and dot their front lawns with fake gravestones and other spooky decorations.
One of Southampton's unique features is the historical connection to the Pomeroys, a colonial-era family that is purported to have tens of thousands of descendants across modern America. The American Pomeroy Historic Genealogical Association, founded by William, a contemporary Pomeroy, organized the unveiling of an anvil-shaped monument in Southampton to commemorate Medad Pomeroy, a 15th-century blacksmith who received land from the city in exchange for his services. Several dozen community members came out to see this monument to the prodigious family take its place in Conant Memorial Park, a popular outdoor space.
Students in the area are part of the Hampshire Regional School Districts. The area's youngest learners can attend William E. Norris Elementary School, which is known for its above-average teachers and has a student-teacher ratio of 13-1. Students wrap up their educational journeys at Hampshire Regional High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has a B rating on Niche and excellent ratings for its clubs, activities, teachers, academics, and college prep, and has a student-teacher ratio of 9 to 1 and is ranked in the top 10 schools in Hampshire County by Niche. The school has a popular drama program, and students enjoy the annual fall play.
Most of the businesses in town are located on or just off Route 10, which runs from roughly north to south. Canal Bowling Lanes offer leagues for everybody in Southampton, and this popular spot is an important community gathering place. Paisano's Pizza Restaurant & Bar offers Italian entrees and pizza you can wash down with a cold beer. The Edwards Public Library hosts events for all residents of Southampton, including chess and Lego clubs, as well as summer reading groups.
Huntington State Forest has a nearly 4-mile hiking loop for adventurous residents who wants to stretch their legs, smell the flowers, and hear the trumpet-like sound of a sneezing deer. Mass Audubon, a wildlife sanctuary, has a 1-mile trail that winds through this quiet forest. The sanctuary also hosts educational sessions about tracking animal signs, bird spotting, and environmental sustainability.
This quaint Massachusetts town is home to a beautiful outdoor environment, popular restaurants and businesses supported by the local community. For a homebuyer looking to become part of a rustic, peaceful community, Southampton is an option worth considering.
