LOVE it here and never want to leave!
My family and I LOVE it here. There is so much for our family of four with two small children to do, from the Carrousel, Downtown, the brand new YMCA, Kingswood Gardens, free concert series, close to every shopping imaginable, nature reserves, state parks, the restored historic theater, skiing and glow tubing, Amish markets, on and on. Also, the cost of living is amazing. We bought a 2,500 sq ft brick Tudor in a tree filled, safe, neighborhood for $94,000. We stay toasty warm for around $150 a month in the dead of winter. Thank You Brick. Snow on this side of the lake is pretty light. Excellent charter schools to choose from, including a Spanish Immersion and Academy for the Arts. Literally, could just go on and on. I grew up 25 minutes from Boston/20 Providence and we had no where near this level of culture, or the extra money after cost of living to spend on cultural activities. I fantasize about retirement...here! No desire to leave. Ever. Check out Downtown Mansfield Inc., Destination Mansfield, The Richland Source digital paper, or the Richland Chamber of Commerce to get a better, positive idea of our community, and the fantastic momentum we are gaining as we "Rise from the Rust"!
