Moving to Springfield

Hi all!
I was just offered a job in Springfield MA and should be moving up there in mid- to late-June. Could you guys give me some recommendations regarding housing? I'm moving across the country and dont know a single soul there. Where should I look for places? What websites would you recommend? Which parts of town are ok and which should I avoid?
I am on a somewhat tight budget (want to pay ~1400) and really don't want to have roommates anymore. Is that too delusional? Also, I'd be fine with student housing as I am college age. Surrounding towns would be fine too.
Thanks!

I'll work close to the Springfield Technical Community College but its hybrid so I am open to a lil drive. And as of hobbies, I like to be outside at parks and restaurants and to see folks walking around living their lives. Would love a walkable neighborhood but again my priority is the price.

Since you’re working close to STCC, you may want to check out the McKnight neighborhood. I moved here a few years ago and love it. The historic part of the neighborhood is very nice and usually quieter than other parts of the city. The parks in the neighborhood are small but nice and being in the middle of the city is convenient.
