Residential living in a diverse community

Named after the former Richard Fay's Estate, Fay’s Estate is a residential community in the coastal city of Lynn, a place known for its manufacturing roots and cultural diversity. Today, Lynn attracts homebuyers for its relatively more affordable housing stock and accessibility to the Boston Metropolis. “There are a lot of legacy families or people who were born and raised here. You still have an immigrant population that continues to migrate through and grow,” says Albert DiVirgilio, a local broker at RE/MAX 360 and whose father, also named Albert, was mayor of Lynn in the 1980s. “It's always been a good mix, and it’s always been a hardworking community.”

New England homes in Fay's Estate

Fay’s Estate is mainly comprised of single-story cottages, Cape Cods and ranch styles as well as two-story Colonial Revivals and raised ranches. Primarily built in the late 1800s to mid-1950s, single-family homes with three or four bedrooms usually list between $450,000 and $950,000. Residential streets can be narrow and rustic, with trees sporadically lined against the sidewalks. Properties in designated flood zones may be required to purchase flood insurance.

Myriad trails in the municipal park Lynn Woods Reservation

The Lynn Woods Reservation has over 2,200 acres of forested woodlands, a popular cave named Dungeon Rock, several gardens and over 30 miles of trails for recreational horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking. “It’s a nice area for people to go for walks with their dogs, run or walk, and to get away from life,” DiVirgilio says. Manning Field and Fraiser Field sit adjacent to each other and are popular for sports games and practices. Folks can take their dogs to Barkland Avenue Dog Park, and the neighborhood is about 5 miles away from Nahant Bay, which is popular for water activities such as boating or swimming.
