City - Sunderland

On the eastern bank of the Connecticut River just nine miles north of Amherst, Sunderland is a charming town that’s stood the test of time since 1718. Sunderland’s nearly 15 square miles of land rests near a large concentration of state forests, wildlife area, and preserves, making this Massachusetts locale perfect for outdoor lovers, families, and students alike.

Sunderland is a modest town, but there are a few lively, local spots like Wild Roots and Blue Heron along Amherst Road that make a compelling case for a night out. Students might enjoy the quiet atmosphere of Sunderland, as the University of Massachusetts Amherst is only seven miles south. Take a hike through Mount Toby State Forest, or one of the many wildlife areas just north of the town. I-91 is just across the river to the west, so a trip into Springfield is never out of the question.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Been living here for 4 years. Apartment is nice, clean, and quiet. Around the property is quite. Staffs are all nice and professional. Maintenance requests are dealt with care and quick. Bus line 31 and the stop is right in front of the property. Takes 10-12 min to UMass campus by car, 15-20 by bus. Highly recommended

Property Manager at The Social Amherst, Responded To This Review

The area is a great spot not too far from my campus with a bus the runs regularly right outside of the complex. The management of the complex is amazing and extremely helpful especially Phoenix.

I was immediately surprised by the hospitality I encountered at The Social. The leasing office was willing to meet with me outside of standard operating hours so I could get my key and move in. Now that I'm here, it feels downright peaceful all hours of the day. I can't recall a single time where neighbors, loud music, or local disturbances intruded on my day. It feels perfectly nestled behind the strip mall on the highway and I feel safe walking to the store late at night. The biggest downside is the size of the laundry room for the population of 70 housing units, but there's a laundromat in the strip mall just through the trees to help remedy that.

The room I am staying in is very tiny and it doesn’t have any lighting. There is a light switch but literally no light on the ceiling. The house in general is also very small storage wise. it’s definitely not for three people.

Amazing society. Great staff. A little overpriced for an apartment without basic furniture like bed, sofas, table/ chair etc., but compensated with a pleasant living experience.

The best place around Amherst and Sunderland. As much as the place is lovely, staff is another reason you want to move into. I don't think I will be able to meet such a wonderful staff like Matt, Pheonix, and Mel in the future.

The Social is a quiet, peaceful, and comfortable place to live. Phoenix, Mel and Matt are the staff on-site and they do a wonderful job helping with any problems. I love the color scheme, everything is blue themed including the doors which just makes me so happy! The bus system is consistent for getting to Amherst and the bus stop is right outside the complex. Amherst is also 10 mins by car which is nice. Theres a bunch of little businesses by the bus stop like: Dunkin, Frontier pizza, hair salon, laundromat, corner store, a Korean Deli, and an alcohol store. There's a dog park with obstacles and a gym with a treadmill and some weights. Ive lived here for 3 years and intend to stay for the foreseeable future. Thank you Mel, Phoenix and Matt, y'all are the cornerstone of this lovely place.
