Airy apartment near Smith
Northampton, Massachusetts
0.1 miles from Smith College
Airy apartment near Smith

Summary
This is a comfortable, loft-like apartment with modern amenities in a 19th century brick building. Located in downtown Northampton it offers round-the-corner access to coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, boutiques, bookstores and public transportation. Views from the roof deck and its shady pergola are spectacular... well worth the walk up to the 4th floor.

About our town
Northampton is a small but lively town with a vibrant cultural life thanks to the presence of five colleges:
Smith College, right here, and Amherst College, UMass Amherst, Hampshire College and Mount Holyoke in nearby Amherst and South Hadley. Surrounded by rolling agricultural land and wooded hills, the town offers an attractive balance between urban animation and peaceful countryside.

Other info Home exchanges with Geneva, Switzerland are of particular interest, from a small flat just for me or a larger home in which I could fit my family (2 couples, 1 single adult, 3 girls ranging from 3 to 13 years old). The latter could be a rental or an exchange plus expenses.
