About East
Springfield
East Springfield, located between the Connecticut River and the Chicopee city line, is a residential and industrial Springfield neighborhood with river-adjacent parks and a working-rail backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sumner Avenue and Page Boulevard corridor, where corner markets, longtime eateries, and auto shops line wide, fast-moving streets. Early-20th-century two- and three-family homes mix with compact capes and brick commercial blocks. The Indian Orchard Canal and nearby rail yards add a utilitarian edge to the streetscape. Community touchstones include The Student Prince Cafe & The Fort Restaurant, MGM Springfield, and the Basketball Hall of Fame across the river. Riverfront paths and neighborhood greenspaces shape daily routines.
