The quiet, nature-centric community of Georgetown
Known primarily as a residential enclave, Georgetown sits about 25 miles north of Boston in the Merrimack Valley region. Adjacent to the coastal town of Rowley and bordered by the towns of Groveland, Newbury and Boxford, this bedroom community is unique for its slew of nearby modern conveniences. Essex County local, Jay LeClerc with Realty One Group, who has nearly 30 years of experience as an agent, says residents recognize Georgetown for being relatively affordable. “People who don’t want to pay Newburyport prices but want to be close to that area come here. A $1.5 million house there might be $800,000 in Georgetown,” he says. The town also has a CAP Index crime score of 1, which is significantly lower than the national average of 4. With lush parks, local shopping and dining options and proximity to urban hubs, Georgetown attracts discerning homebuyers looking for a peaceful, convenient environment steeped in New England beauty.

Georgetown’s town center, shopping and dining
The town center at the intersection of Routes 133 and 97 features a mix of residential homes and businesses, including cafes, diners, small shops and the robust Georgetown Peabody Library. The Spot, situated in the middle of the action, serves up American fare and drinks in a sports bar tavern setting. Pomodori Georgetown sits just down the road for a finer dining option near the stores at Georgetown Crossing. Here, Crosby’s Marketplace sells groceries, and Central Street Pharmacy provides other needs and fills prescriptions. Residents typically head to Haverhill and Rowley for other shopping needs, including the closest Target, about 9 miles away.

Georgetown’s ample green space and outdoor recreation
A short drive to both the mountains and the coast, Georgetown offers an abundance of natural resources, including two major ponds and miles of green space in parks and on recreation land. It is also situated among acres of conservation land and state forests. Both Rock Pond and Pentucket Pond Outlet Reservoir allow for recreational activities, and each has its own boat launch ramp. With access to miles of trails, residents can enjoy horseback riding, and the Boston Polo Club offers lessons and has several tournaments each year. The Georgetown-Rowley State Forest sits nearby with over 1,000 acres of pathways and wooded space. Camp Denison, a passive recreational area owned by the town, features trails for hiking, fishing on both water and ice, and snowshoeing. The American Legion Park by Pentucket Pond offers a swimming area, two playgrounds, fishing docks and a sandy beach complete with picnic tables and public restrooms.

Penn Brook is available for children in kindergarten through Grade 6 and scores a B on Niche. Students can then head to Georgetown Middle, which has a B-minus and Georgetown High, with a B.

Georgetown events and an active COA
The Georgetown Senior Community Center, led by the Georgetown Council on Aging (COA) hosts plenty of events throughout the year including ongoing chair yoga classes, jewelry making, pickleball and monthly Men’s Breakfasts. After the Covid-19 pandemic, the COA began ramping up efforts to involve the community’s elder population by creating more social activities, such as the monthly in-person Traveling Chef meals, that are then followed by fun or educational programming. The Town Hall also hosts meetings and networking events throughout the year for those interested in becoming involved with the neighborhood’s happenings. For a family friendly outing, American Legion Park holds a summer concert series at the Ice House Pavillion off Pentucket Avenue, complete with a food truck.
