Our Amherst apartments are just a short commute from Amherst College, Hampshire College and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMass). These, along with two others, are referred to as the Five Colleges. Of course, this means that our Amherst apartments offer you the fun and cultural opportunities of a vibrant university town. These include the Amherst Cinema Arts Center, the W.E.B. Du Bois Library and the Amherst College Museum of Natural History.
Amherst is located in the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts, on the Connecticut River. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and agricultural area. In addition to local parks, our Amherst apartments put you a short drive from the many state forests of Western Massachusetts. This scenic region has been home to several American literary giants, including Noah Webster, Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost.
Our Amherst apartments are close to great shopping and dining attractions. State and interstate highways provide road access to Springfield, Boston and other New England cities. If you prefer not to drive various forms a bus service are available, thanks in great part to the Five Colleges. These include the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority, Ridebuzz and Rideshare. The Vermonter provides daily Amtrak rail service between Washington D.C. and St. Albans, and stops at the Amherst train station, all just minutes from our Amherst apartments.
Our Amherst apartments offer comfortable living in quiet, modern 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments feature state-of-the-art fixtures and appliances, heat and air conditioning controls, washer/dryers, and patios or balconies overlooking the well-maintained grounds. Outdoor amenities include basketball courts, bike and hiking trails, walking and jogging paths, outdoor barbeque grills and/or picnic areas, playgrounds and a swimming pool.
