Middlefield rewards those who crave elbow room and easy access to the outdoors. Tucked into the hilltowns of Hampshire County, this small community offers winding backroads, star-studded skies, and quick escapes to trailheads and waterways. Residents enjoy a peaceful pace at home while staying within a reasonable drive of job centers and arts scenes in Westfield and Northampton.
Weekends here often start on the path to the thunderous cascades at Glendale Falls, conserved by The Trustees of Reservations and celebrated as one of the state’s most dramatic waterfalls. The stone spans along the Westfield River on the Keystone Arches Bridges Trail add a dose of railroading history to any hike. Nearby forests around Chester and Worthington deliver year-round recreation, with snowshoeing in winter and leaf-peeping in fall. Anglers appreciate cool, clear headwater streams, and families look forward to the long-running Middlefield Fair, a classic country gathering with 4-H exhibits, pulls, and live music.
Families are served by the Gateway Regional School District, known for close-knit classrooms, dedicated educators, and a comprehensive campus for middle and high school students. Housing runs the gamut from antique farmhouses to energy-conscious builds on generous acreage, and buyers often find strong value compared to larger markets nearby.
