New England region

Massachusetts and neighbors

The New England region comprises the six northeastern U.S. states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

The phrase is slightly redundant since New England already denotes a region, but New England region appears in formal or geographic contexts: The New England region experiences harsh winters.
