Wales, Massachusetts, part of the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area in Hampden County, is a small and attractive town situated on the waters of the Quinnebaug drainage system. The rich history of Wales adds to its charm, as it was a colony settlement founded during the mid-18th century. Registering at only 1,838 residents, it is an ideal location for a year-round abode or summer home. It offers the feeling of peace and quiet while only being a short drive to the larger city of Springfield. The town is bordered by Monson, Holland, Brimfield, and Stafford and Union, Connecticut. A wonderful selling point for buying a home in this area is that there are houses at every price point, based on availability. Cozy, up-to-date cottages, ranch styles, or multi-acre properties on wooded plots are but a few selections that may be for sale. Residences with lake views, private beaches, and boat launches are often an option. While Wales is the perfect setting for all-seasons living, a distinctive and comfortable home may be the perfect match for a summer vacation spot on the lake, where you can enjoy water-based recreational activities. If you are ready to buy, or are just considering your options, feel free to sign up to attend an open house in Wales and find a house that matches your budget without sacrificing gorgeous views and quality homes.
