Massachusetts is probably one of the safest States as a whole, but you have your sketchy areas just like anywhere. Pittsfield is on the smaller side for a MA city and the area is pretty safe, but I haven't been out that far in about 10 years. Springfield on the other hand used to list in the upper top 10 for most violent cities in the country and rightfully so as it was a war zone 10-15 years ago. It's changed quite a bit, but I'd still tread lightly if you head there as its close to Pittsfield, deceitful in appearance, and still sketchy as hell lol.

Springfield isn't exactly close to Pittsfield. It's about the same straight-line distance to Worcester as it is to Pittsfield.

Springfield and Worcester are actually closer miles wise than Springfield and Pittsfield.
