Homes close to urban amenities and Flax Pond
Along the shoreline of the glistening Flax Pond is the lakeside Lynn neighborhood, a small, close-knit community of neighbors who love their waterway. Quacking ducks and a humming fountain in the middle of the pond are familiar sounds to wake up to. Homes in the neighborhood can range from historic Cape Cods along the water to condos and farmhouses lining the quiet streets. The neighborhood is also close to a number of local parks and schools, and dining options are just a quick drive away. The neighborhood has quick access to several roads for drivers and public transportation routes for trips and commuting to Boston. “It is a very up-and-coming neighborhood,” says Beth Connor of Connor Real Estate, who has served the community for almost 40 years. “A lot of people really want to live here, and it is bringing up the prices.”
Lynn is truly a peaceful neighborhood within the town of Lynn.

Parks alongside Flax Pond
The neighborhood's crown jewel is the pond at its center, with the still water providing a relaxing view from the back porches of many houses, and the area hosts boating lessons and derbies. “There are also always a lot of ducks on the pond in the summer and winter,” Connor says. To the west of the pond, Magnolia Park’s tennis and basketball courts, alongside a playset and field, make it a popular spot for a leisurely afternoon, especially due to its location behind the local elementary school. “The park is so beautiful with the pond right there, and that is the spot where all the local football and baseball teams meet up to play,” Connor says. Flax Pond Playground sits at the pond’s southern end with a playset and splash pad where children can cool off on a hot summer day.

Waterfront patio seating and sports bar fare
The western end of the neighborhood, often referred to as Wyoma Square, is home to several restaurant and retail options, such as the nearby Four Winds Pub & Grill. Connor says the pub offers plenty of patio seating on and off of Sluice Pond, where friends can enjoy a seasonal cocktail or their popular ribs. Dog Sports Bar offers another dining option with over a dozen televisions to watch the big game while enjoying steak tips. Neighbors can visit the Stop & Shop less than 2 miles away for groceries.

Both the elementary and middle schools are within the neighborhood and just a short walk from home. Pickering Middle School is also building a new campus, as the old one has served the community for over 120 years. All schools receive a “C” rating from Niche.
