Florence is an idyllic village in Northampton, Massachusetts. The village itself lies in the northwest section of Northampton, just three miles west of the Connecticut River and Elwell State Park. Florence was named after the city in Italy, as both used to have a flourishing silk industry. These days Florence is home to a number of flourishing local businesses that reside in its historic Main Street district.
This sleepy Massachusetts community provides convenient access to incredible state parks and forests that border it. Residents also have access to the Northampton Bikeway, a 2.5 mile bike and walking trail that connects Florence to downtown Northampton. If you’re looking for a charming home or a historic apartment building in a scenic part of New England, look no further than Florence.
