West Springfield, MAInc. 1660
West Springfield sits across the Connecticut River from Springfield, connected by the Memorial Bridge. The town is best known for the Eastern States Exposition (The Big E) — the largest fair in New England — whose fairgrounds occupy a significant parcel along the river. The Riverdale Road commercial corridor along Route 5 is one of the most significant commercial strips in western Massachusetts.
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.
