This Charming Massachusetts River Town Still Has Homes Priced Under $200K

Bald eagles, a fish ladder, and a whole village built around a planned 1860s factory grid. That sounds like a lot for one small spot, right?. It also has old brick buildings lining a walkable main street. The Connecticut River crashes over a dam right at the edge of downtown....

This Quiet Massachusetts City Still Has Homes Priced Under $170,000

Volleyball was invented here. A YMCA instructor named William G. Morgan dreamed it up in 1895, and the city still proudly hosts the Volleyball Hall of Fame. That alone would earn a spot on my list. Yet this Massachusetts city also built a network of canals to power its paper mills, which once earned it the nickname Paper City.

Connecticut Will Pay You $5,000 To Start Fresh On A Quiet Island—Are You Missing Out?

A Connecticut island can make a fresh start feel wonderfully tangible: a boat crossing instead of an ordinary commute, a harbor that changes with the tide, and an evening spent watching the light move across Long Island Sound. The Thimble Islands off Branford give that idea a particularly inviting setting, with small islands and a mainland village close enough to explore together.

Letter to the Editor: YES on Question 7

If Massachusetts were suffering from a severe shortage of food, it would be absurd to characterize a proposal to allow more farms as a scheme to enrich vegetable growers. So why do I keep seeing the ballot measure to allow more homes on smaller lots framed as a giveaway to homebuilders? The way to address a shortage of something is to make more of it. It’s really that simple. Requiring large minimum lot sizes is legally enforced housing scarcity, and that is what Question 7 is trying to fix.
