North Adams MA Real Estate

North Adams is the Renaissance town of the Berkshires. For much of its early existence, North Adams was a mill town. The town prospered and eventually became one of the world’s leading manufacturers of printed textiles. The Arnold Print Works was a huge employer until low cloth prices and the Great Depression devastated both the business and North Adams.

After the Depression, North Adams became a major research and development center for semi-conductors and thrived on the consumer electronic market. Sprague Electrical, who once employed 40% of North Adams’ work force, closed its doors in 1985, destroying the local economy.

In the 90s Mass MoCA, the largest center for contemporary and performing arts in the country, provided the impetus for an economic transformation in the region centered on cultural, recreational, and educational offerings.

Today, North Adams thrives with well-regarded restaurants, contemporary art galleries and cultural organizations. The restoration of North Adams real estate stock is an exciting aspect of the town’s renaissance.
