Urban community with low-key vibes

It’s not only the sights and sounds that make East Lynn a welcoming neighborhood, but also the sugary sweet scent that proliferates throughout. East Lynn is home to the factory that produces a famous New England confection, Marshmallow Fluff. A key ingredient to Fluffernutter sandwiches is made in an understated two-story building at the end of a residential street. The rest of the neighborhood follows suit, with East Lynn’s urban layout providing quick and easy access to a host of modern amenities.
