Belchertown, MAInc. 1731
Belchertown is a growing town at the junction of the Pioneer Valley and the Quabbin Reservoir region. The Quabbin, Massachusetts' largest reservoir, forms the town's eastern boundary and its protected watershed constrains development in that direction. The town has grown as a residential alternative to the more expensive communities closer to Amherst and Northampton.
For property professionals, Belchertown is a moderate, growing market with a housing stock that mixes older village-center homes with newer suburban development. The Quabbin watershed creates unique environmental constraints, and the town's position between the college towns and the rural hill towns puts it in a transitional market zone.
