Talk to anyone about the Berkshires, whether this is where you live, work, play, or some combination thereof, and a shared theme is likely to emerge – an appreciation for the region’s natural outdoor beauty.
Widely known for its vibrant tourism, arts and culture scene, and outdoor recreation, the Berkshires has a long history of enchanting visitors and seducing new residents. This was especially true during the long, unsettling days of COVID when our green spaces became our safe havens, increasing exponentially in social value and popularity.
