Homes and shopping just outside of Downtown Lynn
The Fayette Street neighborhood is less than a mile from the heart of downtown Lynn and is known for its proximity to commuting routes. “We’re proud of Lynn. It’s a proud community,” says Al DiVirgilio, a former Lynn police officer and Realtor with RE/MAX 360. “I’ve never left, and I never plan to.” The city's population is a mixture of longtime residents, immigrants and other new residents looking for an affordable place close to their offices in Boston or Cambridge, DiVirgilio says. “You have longtime residents here now that think the pricing is absolutely crazy, but then you also have others moving into the community who think it’s affordable,” he adds. “That’s the shift happening.”
Fayette Street in Lynn is a great neighborhood with all the amenities of a big city.

Attached to Lynn English High School is Keaney Memorial Park, a large outdoor athletic complex featuring tennis courts, baseball fields, basketball courts and soccer fields. The park also has a small playground area and public restrooms. Residents looking for a scenic place to stroll can stop by the nearby Goldfish Pond Park. This park's walking trail surrounds a pond and has a garden island at its center. Volunteers meticulously maintain the park and host multiple events for Lynn residents throughout the year.
