Indian Ridge
Neighborhood in Lynn, Massachusetts
Essex County 01904
Peaceful homes dot Indian Ridge
Neighborhood homes sit close to the car-lined streets and sidewalks, leaving little room for yards and green space in the front. Porticos, porches and picket fences are common, and many houses are built with raised foundations to complement the area’s hilly landscape. Dating from the early 1900s to the 1960s, common single-family architecture includes ranch styles, raised ranches, Craftsman Bungalows and eclectic New England styles with gabled roofs and stone foundations. Often listing between $500,000 and $650,000, these properties are around 1,000 to 2,000 square feet with lots averaging 5,000 square feet to a quarter-acre. There are also newly developed three-bedroom townhouses selling from around $580,000 to $600,000, and these communities require monthly HOA fees. “The area has become increasingly popular among developers,” says Lisa Sheehan, senior luxury advisor at Senne Residential.

Public parks, beaches and lakes abound in Indian Ridge
Surrounded by nature, green spaces and many bodies of water such as Browns and Flax Ponds, Indian Ridge is also home to the east side of Sluice Pond. Lakeshore Park lines the banks of Browns Pond, providing space for pickleball, fishing, walking and feeding the ducks. Established in 1929, the Gannon Municipal Golf Course is an 18-hole golf course with memberships and some tee times for the public. Several blocks east, Flax Pond Rest Area is a popular spot for locals to walk their dogs. The park also features public tennis courts and play areas. The Agganis Athletic Complex has both Manning Field and Frasier Baseball Field that are used for local league games and practices, and the Lynn Woods Reservation is a large municipal park with over 30 miles of hiking trails. The neighborhood is also about 4 miles away from Nahant Beach and the Lynn Woods Reservation, which is used for swimming and water activities.C-graded schools at the Lynn Public Schools
Students in Broadway may attend Edward Sisson Elementary School before continuing to Pickering Middle School. Both schools share a campus. Lynn English High School has partnerships with North Shore Community College and Salem State University that grant students access to dual-enrollment courses. All schools have an overall C-rating from Niche.

City events in Lynn
Some of the most note-worthy celebrations in Lynn include the annual Juneteenth celebration and the Lynn Carnival, which features games and rides. The Lynn Arts & Culture Festival takes place in the downtown area every summer with family-friendly activities such as crafts and face painting, live music and trolley rides. Other events include the yearly Youth Pride parade and event, and free summer art workshops and exhibits called Final Fridays, which are held on the last Friday of the month from May to September.Proximity to Boston and the Boston Logan International Airport
Conveniently situated, Indian Ridge is about 12 miles away from Boston’s business district and the Boston Logan International Airport via Massachusetts Route 1A, which is northwest of the community. While some streets have sidewalks, Indian Ridge remains car-dependent for daily and work commutes. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter rail stops at Lynn Interim Station, and commuters who need to access Boston can take the Newburyport/Rockport Line. Salem Hospital is less than 2 miles away, and the area has a Cap Index Score of 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4. The neighborhood is known around Lynn for its several prominent cemeteries, including St. Joseph’s and St. Jean’s.Retail centers along Broadway Street
Residents in Indian Ridge enjoy a range of local shopping, dining and entertainment options, most of which line Broadway Street and Boston Street. Brookside Square is a local shopping plaza with Planet Fitness, CVS, Big Lots and local restaurants such as Andy’s Breakfast & Lunch. Residents can shop for groceries at Stop & Shop along Boston Street, or head a little farther south to Stop and Compare, which is likened to a Latin American version of Trader Joe’s. Walmart is several blocks east in neighboring Salem. Mino’s Roast Beef on Broadway Street is known for its sandwiches and specialty subs. Established in 1939, Lynnapesaukee Four Winds Pub & Grill offers friendly service, live music, signature cocktails and outdoor seating on the banks of Sluice Pond. From there, locals often walk to Lazy Dog Sports Bar to watch the game or enjoy a nightcap with friends.
