Why Live in Essex

Essex, Massachusetts, retains its historic coastal charm, rooted in its shipbuilding origins. Known for its high-quality clam beds, Essex is a regional destination for seafood, with iconic spots like Woodman's of Essex, famous for inventing the fried clam. The town also boasts a reputation for antique shops, though residents often travel 15 minutes to Gloucester for grocery shopping. The Essex Historical Society and Shipbuilding Museum offers a glimpse into the town's rich maritime history, hosting events and social clubs. Annual celebrations like Essex River Day and the Essex Clamfest, featuring a clam chowder competition, are community highlights. Outdoor activities are abundant, with cross-country skiing in winter and boating in warmer months, supported by local marinas like Pike Marine. The Manchester Essex Regional School District, formed through a merger with Manchester-by-the-Sea, includes highly rated schools: Essex Elementary School, Manchester Essex Regional Middle School, and Manchester Essex Regional High School. Housing options range from smaller, older colonial homes in town to larger properties with estuary views, though prospective buyers should be aware of the higher flood risk in certain areas. Commuting to Boston involves a 30-mile drive, typically taking 45 minutes to over an hour, while Gloucester and Beverly, offering major amenities, are 7 and 10 miles away, respectively.
