An industrial town-turned entertainment hot spot
Throughout the past decade, Everett, about 6 miles outside of the city, has developed into a trendy Boston suburb for families and young adults. The area began as a blue-collar industry hub for the Port of Boston. Now, it’s experiencing a major surge of development, which started with the 2019 opening of the Encore Boston Harbor casino. “It was the biggest project here in many, many years,” says Yoni Haiminis, a local broker with Compass. “It paved the way for a ton of large scale, higher end development, steering the city away from its blue-collar roots.” New, luxury apartment complexes and condo units have accommodated the growing population, which increased by nearly 19% between 2010 and 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Many of Everett’s 50,000 residents commute to Cambridge or Boston for work by bike or MBTA buses. But, with 29 parks, a big-box shopping center and a booming food scene, locals can find a little bit of everything in Everett without having to venture into the big city.

Fermentation District brews and everyday shopping needs
Restaurants serve a variety of authentic cuisines off Broadway and Main Street, though beer has become Everett’s local flavor. The Fermentation District, situated off Revere Beach Parkway and Santilli Highway, is a destination for craft beer lovers, who can sip from various ales and indulge in the rotating food trucks. Night Shift’s patios are packed with customers throughout the week; tasting rooms fill quickly at Bone Up, and Short Path is the district’s only distillery.
Shoppers north of Boston often come to Everett for the Gateway Center, where options include Target, Costco and The Home Depot. Assembly Row, a mixed entertainment and shopping district, is also right across the Mystic River in Somerville via the Wellington Bridge.

Riverside trails, pocket-park playgrounds and dog bars
Everett’s 29 parks feature waterfront trails, small playground areas and athletic facilities. Glendale Park is one of the largest community gathering spaces, with a jungle gym, a baseball diamond and open fields for events. Locals come to Rivergreen Park for a pick-up game on the multiuse fields or to admire the sunset from the benches along the Malden River. The Northern Strand Trail provides a 10-mile stretch from Everett to Lynn, popular among bikers and joggers. Pet owners can visit the 7-Acre dog park or grab a drink while their pups play at the Park-9 Dog Bar, which offers canine-friendly indoor and outdoor areas and two full-service bars. On the city’s many snow days, residents can try their luck at Encore Boston Harbor’s luxury casino, catch some air at the Sky Zone Trampoline Park or strap in at MetroRock Climbing Center.

Single- and multifamily properties, densely packed on city streets
Many of Everett’s streetscapes share the typical elements of Boston-area cities, like double-decker houses that hug the narrow streets and small, fenced-in yards. Despite its urban layout, Everett sits on the banks of two rivers and is peppered with nature preserves and pocket parks within walking distance of most residences.
Single-family architecture primarily consists of New Englander builds, Capes and colonials, with prices ranging from $400,000 to $1 million. Everett also has a growing condominium market, with units housed in converted factories or brand-new complexes. “All of the buildings I sell in are very social and community driven,” Haiminis says. Prices for these smaller units run between $250,000 and $800,000.

Annual holiday events and community initiatives
Everett events range from Christmas tree and Menorah lightings to Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. The Independence Day Celebration consists of fireworks displays, inflatable play areas and live music in Glendale Park. The city has an active Council on Aging and a youth commission, which put together age-friendly events and socials throughout the year. The community comes together for fundraisers, as well, such as the Everett Police polar plunge, which raises money for Special Olympics Massachusetts.
Diverse public schools and proximity to world-class universities
The Everett Public Schools district scores an overall B-minus on Niche. It’s the No. 12 most diverse district in the state, according to Niche. Families can enroll their prekindergarten through eighth graders at A-rated Cheverus Catholic School and Malden Catholic High, which earns an A-plus. Both options are a few miles away in Malden. Everett also sits within 5 miles of Tufts, Harvard and M.I.T. for higher education.

Navigating Boston and beyond
Commuters can make the 6-mile drive into downtown Boston via U.S. Route 1. MBTA bus stops are scattered throughout the community, and the nearby Wellington station, right across the Malden River, offers Orange Line services. Residents don’t have to leave the neighborhood for health care, as the Cambridge Health Alliance has an Everett location. Boston Logan International Airport operates about 4 miles away.
Everett’s crime patterns
According to the FBI, reported violent crime rates increased by about 12%, while reported property crime rates decreased by nearly 6% between 2020 and 2023. In 2023, reported violent crime rates were significantly lower than U.S. and Massachusetts rates. Reported property crime rates fell lower than national rates, but higher than state rates.
