Post: Familiarity with Springfield, MA

Just got an offer accepted on a 3 fam in chicopee after 6 months of shopping. The good multi get sold so fast its not even funny. I plan to owner occ then continue my RE career in financial freedom. I dont know much of the area except that springfield has gotten a bad rap over the years but from what I've been researching it looks like the area is slowly getting better and things are turning around. Hoping to talk to more investors in the area. 

Looking to get some general information.

Im doing Owner Occ FHA and am living in NYC currently but live some times of the year in MA in the lowell/lawrence area. The reason I picked the area is because I travel for work between NYC and up in Lawrence so the springfield area is dead in the middle of both NYC and northeastern MA. I didnt want to buy in springfield because I know the area is quite ridden with crime which I'm no stranger to being born and raised in the Bronx. After driving thru Chicopee I noticed that its quite cleaner and quiet compared to springfield. I wanted some opinions on people who know the areas and what their outlook is on this area. Seems like some folks like it and others say the areas are complete trash mostly speaking of Springfield.

New here and from NYC as well. I'm also interested in meeting some seasoned investors for tips and advice on how to start my REI career.
