Starter homes and spacious builds in Bradford

Suburban homes line quiet subdivisions in Haverhill's Salem Street neighborhood. Located in the Bradford area on the south side of town and bordering the Merrimack River, Salem Street is home to sought-after recreational facilities like the Bradford Swim Club, Bradford Country Club and Ski Bradford, while still commutable to Boston in under an hour. Salem Street is home to smaller, starter homes as well as more spacious builds. "It's a mix of people who have been there a long time and younger 30-somethings moving there and forming their households," says Mark Dickinson, Realtor at Realty One Group Nest. "It's one of the most affordable options, and once they get there, they see how much it has to offer."
Salem Street offers a very quiet lifestyle and a lot of nature to enjoy during the warmer days.

Outdoor fun on the river and more year-round recreation

The Merrimack River is the heart of recreation in Haverhill. Several nearby parks, including Riverside Park and Washington Landing Park, have waterfront trails and playgrounds. Crescent Yacht Club and Marianna's Marina are among the boating venues in Haverhill, and the town's annual River Ruckus in September celebrates the community with live music and a fireworks display over the water.  Salem Street is at the center of even more year-round recreation options. Bradford Swim Club, a members-only pool and splash park, is located in the neighborhood. The club also hosts a swim team and events like live music beside the water. Members of the Bradford Country Club have access to the 18-hole course and clubhouse, which can be rented for private events. During the winter months, Ski Bradford immediately borders the neighborhood on the south and has snowboarding and skiing during the night and day.

Salem Street is within commuting distance of Boston

Salem Street is about 30 miles north of Boston's city center. "There are a lot of young people, 30-somethings, and they're commuting. The drive [to Boston] is about 50 minutes, but they have two commuter rail stops in Haverhill, so it's easy for that." Dickinson says. From Salem Street, the Bradford and Haverhill train stations are both less than 3 miles away, and drivers can take Interstate 95, 93 or 495 south into the city. Boston Logan International Airport is also about 30 miles south, and Holy Family Hospital is 3 miles north.
