Hickory Lane is a quiet cul-de-sac in Echo Hill South. Echo Hill South Association is Massachusetts' oldest PUD (planned urban development) and our vibrant Association and neighbors care for and share common ponds, a huge field and trails galore, including the Robert Frost Trail just down from Hickory Lane.
The Belchertown-UMass PVTA bus (#45) stops in both directions at the foot of Hickory Lane, a one-minute walk away. Amherst College is 2.5 miles/8 minutes drive and UMass is 3.2 miles/10 minutes away by car.

Our goal is a mutually beneficial relationship. Read More
