Northampton

Welcome to Northampton, Massachusetts, the friendly little city with big city energy—gourmet restaurants and outdoor cafes, unique bookstores and fashion boutiques. Home to more artists, writers and musicians per square foot than any other spot between Soho and Montreal, Northampton offers a variety of art galleries, museums, clubs and theaters. Located in the heart of a lively five college community that includes Smith College, Amherst, Hampshire, Mt. Holyoke and the University of Massachusetts.

Located at 14 Strong Ave., Pedal to Properties Northampton is a full-service real estate office that can help you really get to know our Pioneer Valley neighborhoods via our fun-to-ride cruiser bicycles. The managing broker and owner of the Northampton office is Craig Della Penna, a leader in real estate and livable communities.

True to our mission, Pedal to Properties Northampton sits next to a rail trail and about 100 yards from Northampton’s Union Station, where a commuter rail will be resurrected in the next few years. Our realtors will offer Tuesday evening tours of the different rail trails being developed in the Pioneer Valley.

Della Penna and his agents are committed to concepts that tie directly into the Pedal to Properties model – helping buyers and sellers connect with Realtors that care about livable communities. For example, for eight years Della Penna worked for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy as their New England field representative and covered various states as legislative agent on issues of smart growth, sustainable economic development and alternative transportation. He has authored four books, regularly writes columns and editorials on these and other quality of life issues, and has delivered more than 750 lectures in 16 states and Canadian provinces. Della Penna also owns the Sugar Maple Trailside Inn, the third house that he and his wife, Kathleen, have restored. The Inn won Northampton’s Historic Preservation Award in 2003.
