The Neighborhood

In the middle of everything, but away from it all.

Adams is the place to contemplate, energize, engage and appreciate. An active walk-able downtown benefits from the urban amenities you would expect but uniquely provides opportunities at your doorstep to engage in outdoor adventures, appreciate cultural activity, develop the inner self or contemplate the surrounding natural environment.

Contemplate
Wellness and the natural environment

Whether it's a walk through the Greylock Glen or looking up at the stars from the State's highest peak, there are endless opportunities to take a pause and be at one with nature. Yoga and wellness studios including the renowned Kripula retreat are just a few of the many options to feed your inner soul and mindfulness.
