Where to Live on the North Shore Boston

Where to Live on the North Shore of Boston, Ma

From Boston’s doorstep, heading north to New Hampshire; from the Atlantic Ocean heading west to interstate 93 is an area called the NORTH SHORE.

The “North Shore of Boston” can be a general term, which can include just a few of the towns North of Boston closer to the coast OR can be a bit more vast to include the highlighted cities and towns on the map as shown just below.  I have lived here all my life and opinions will vary, but basically it is in the AREA North of Boston!

If living on the coast is what your are looking for then it will be important to look at the towns or cities of Nahant,  Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Beverly, Beverly Farms, Danvers, Ipswich, Rowley, Newbury, Newburyport and Salisbury.  There are 4 coastal towns in an area of the North Shore called Cape Ann they are Essex, Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Rockport.  Boston is just minutes from Logan Airport and commuter rail lines, linked by  several major highways. The North Shore of Boston offers some of the most unique and historic homes, with period details dating back as early as the 1600’s.  Rich in history; the North Shore has a wealth of first-class museums, shops and art galleries, with many of New England’s finest restaurants and accommodations.  The heart-stopping scenery is 2nd to none with miles of preserved beaches, marshes, rivers and forests.

Boston is known for it’s world class colleges, medical facilities and technology. With abundant job opportunities the commute to Boston is a short 30-40 mile drive or a 50-60 minute Commuter Train Ride.
