Hi all!
I was just offered a job in Springfield MA and should be moving up there in mid- to late-June. Could you guys give me some recommendations regarding housing? I'm moving across the country and dont know a single soul there. Where should I look for places? What websites would you recommend? Which parts of town are ok and which should I avoid?
I am on a somewhat tight budget (want to pay ~1400) and really don't want to have roommates anymore. Is that too delusional? Also, I'd be fine with student housing as I am college age. Surrounding towns would be fine too.
Thanks!
