Description

I’m excited to be moving to Northampton with my wife and 6-year-old son this summer! We’re looking to rent a 3 or 4 bedroom house or apartment (though we might settle for 2 bedrooms in a large enough space), with at least 1.5 bathrooms, located within 1 mile or less walking distance from the YMCA and Congregation B'nai Israel of Northampton & Abundance Farm. We're hoping for a 1-year lease. We're open to a June 15, June 22, or July 1 lease start date. We'd like to move in on June 30- July 1 . Please share any leads. Thanks in advance!

Comments: My wife, son, and I are looking to live within 1 mile or less walking distance of Abundance Farm at Congregation B'nai Israel (253 Prospect Street Northampton, MA).
