Joining a close community in Amesbury
A former agricultural and mill town, Amesbury is now a suburban community with approximately 17,000 residents. Industrial buildings have been reinvented to house condos, restaurants and other businesses. With a lively downtown art and culinary scene, peaceful New England homes and proximity to highways, the city has gained prominence as a desirable and convenient bedroom community. The median household income is $100,599, about the same as the state median. Many people work outside of Amesbury with jobs in healthcare, biotechnology, education and manufacturing sectors. “Amesbury is like Cheers. Everyone knows your name,” says Cathy Toomey with Stone Ridge Properties, who has sold homes here for 45 years. “Walking downtown can take longer than it should because you will stop and chat with so many people along the way. It is an old mill city that has come back to life. There’s energy here.”

Colonials, Capes and condos
Amesbury’s housing market primarily consists of Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals, ranch-style homes and Workers Cottages. The median home price is $570,000, and houses were built from the 1850s to present day. Single-family houses tend to sell between $400,000 and $900,000. Waterfront properties with views of the Merrimack River and residences on “Old Main Street,” which is home to some of Amesbury’s most historic houses, can go over $2.5 million. Condos, townhouses and multifamily properties are usually in the more central parts of Amesbury, and the starting price is about $250,000. Condominiums and condos converted from multi-family properties can go over $650,000, and townhouses can fetch $1 million. Newer developments that are riverfront are usually on the higher end of the price range.

Downtown Boston and Logan International Airport are both approximately 40 miles south of the city via I-95, and the nearest MBTA commuter rail station is in Newburyport, about 7 miles away. While there are a couple of health clinics in Amesbury, Anna Jacques Hospital in Newburyport offers more comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care. “The traffic at certain times of the day can be annoying, but I grew up closer to Boston, so I know firsthand it really is not all that bad,” Toomey says.
