My father lived there for many years and is buried there.The few rough parts in town are easy to avoid.Turner's Falls has a tougher reputation I think especially the Patch area.

Bernadston,Shelburne and Northfield are also worth looking into as well.My former step-mother still lives there,no complaints from about Greenfield.

Montague (Turners Falls) is no better or worse than Greenfield really. I grew up there, lived in town for 26 years, and if I was to move back it would be Montague over Greenfield. The Patch isn't really bad at all, just lower income older housing, especially compared to Leyden Woods or Oak Courts in Greenfield which are far worse than anywhere in TF.

I would choose turners falls over greenfield as well. Nicer downtown, seems less conflict in town politics. Unity park is beautiful. One of the lousiest things about greenfield is the nice downtown park is only used by homeless and addicts except for events.
