West Springfield sits across the Connecticut River from Springfield, connected by the Memorial Bridge.

For property professionals, West Springfield offers a diverse market with the Big E grounds, the Route 5 commercial corridor, older residential neighborhoods near the center, and suburban development in the outlying areas. The Connecticut River creates flood zone exposure along the eastern edge.
