There are a couple neighborhoods I would be wary of, but I'm also a woman. I would say most of it is totally safe for walking at night, the main roads are very well lit all over the city, and I've walked home from downtown restaurants at night with no qualms

I love Northampton as a city but it definitely isn't as convenient to the eastern part of the states where jobs are.
I currently live in Haverhill and have for about four years and I love it. A lot of my peers are moving to Haverhill because it's one of the most affordable communities in the area. House prices are on the rise though, and the city is definitely still a bit "up and coming" so who knows where prices will be in two years. Restaurants downtown are amazing and there are plenty of parks and stuff in the area to walk around etc. Let me know if you have any questions!

May I ask how many units your condo building is? When I looked at MassSave it says they won't do the reduced pricing stuff for residential condos with more than 4 units

Some farms run a Farm to Table dinner evening events, but I don't know how common it is during the winter months. The only one on there now is a cooking class
