Amherst is within easy access to some of the country's most exciting cities, including Boston and New York.

Amherst may have small-town charm, but the residents—and the dining—are certainly worldly. The town beckons folks from around the globe. Over 43% of adults who live in Amherst hold graduate degrees, making for an intellectually rich experience. Another rich experience—dinner. The sidewalks of Amherst are lined with limitless options for grabbing sushi or lingering over a four-course French feast.
