Living here
Salt marshes, Crane Beach and a historic town center come together in one of the North Shore's most distinctive communities.
The town combines a walkable historic center and commuter rail with broad stretches of marsh, countryside and coastline. Crane Beach is a defining amenity, but the everyday feel depends on whether you live near downtown or farther out.
Expect a mix of older single-family homes, condominiums and properties shaped by the coast. Condition, parking, outdoor space and proximity to the water can vary as much within town as asking price.
Near the shoreline, review flood exposure, insurance, drainage and past storm work early. For older homes and condominiums, inspection findings, reserves and planned exterior work deserve the same attention as the view.
