Ivy Neighborhood
Ivy Neighborhood houses are some of the oldest houses on Smith’s campus, dating from as far back as 1878. The sense of pride that comes from knowing that half of the Ivy houses are near classroom buildings, the gymnasium, the athletic fields and scenic Paradise Pond, while the other half are only a short walk from downtown Northampton. With age comes history and tradition. Porch swings and cozy living rooms make these houses a place that many students call home for their entire four years at Smith.
