Dalton is a nice area. Close to Pittsfield (the “city”) but with a small town feel. Hinsdale is also a close second but a bit more rural.

Peru, Washington and becket are pretty safe but they are out in the boonies. wahconah is a great school. Usually have some good sports teams and classes are a bit smaller than Pittsfield or taconic

Dalton or Lee are anong the best somewhat reasonably priced options in the county. South county is becoming a bit more expensive lately, Lee is starting to fall into that trend as well. Great Barrington has already become expensive.

Oh, Williamstown is pretty nice, too. Nothing like having one of the best colleges on the planet in a picturesque small town. But it's in the NW corner and far from everything. But the college has tons of cultural opportunities.

I'd take a few weekends and travel the area. So much to love out here...

Lee is a great town to raise a family

I remember way back in the day when I had facebook and there were 'groups', is that still a thing? Anyways I always felt it was comical that Wahconah's group page was spelled incorrectly. It made me proud to be a 'Joey'.
