Beachy vibes right outside Boston

Located just 10 miles north of Boston, the Lynnway area represents an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of urban living in favor of a classic coastal lifestyle. Add in its scenic greenery and historical landscapes, and it’s easy to see why the area is as popular as it is. “The beach is a huge attraction, for sure,” says Van Son, real estate agent and resident of Lynn. “But the area is expanding and developing too, so it’s a great time to get in,” says Son. With an appreciation for its history and an eye towards future development, Lynnway is a neighborhood that offers the best of both worlds—in more ways than one.

Classic New England style

Homes in the Lynnway neighborhood are typical of the greater Boston area—with Colonial and colonial-revival style being most common, along with Cape Cod style. The area is notable for its preservation of its own history, and the houses in the area reflect that—with newer homes still very much modeled in the antique style of their neighbors. Homes generally range from $400,000 to $650,000, though homes closer to the waterfront can go for more. The location of Lynnway makes it a compelling option for those looking to remain close to both urban and suburban amenities—Lynnway features many commercial options—and still retain the charm of the coastal vibes Lynn has to offer.

Beautiful beaches, charming local shops

Coastal life is one of the premier attractions the area has to offer, and residents of Lynnway have no shortage of options when it comes to spending their day by the water. With three beaches lined up right next to each other—Nahant Beach, Lynn Shore Reservation, and King’s Beach—residents of the area can start their day with yoga on the beach, before heading to well-known Lolly’s Bakery for authentic Hispanic bread and baked goods. Those looking for more greenery will find it in the Lynn Woods Reservation. “The reservation is beautiful, and the trails are some of the best in state,” says Son. Families looking for a more relaxed Sunday stroll can find it at Lynn State Heritage Park, which also features the Lynn Museum and Historical Society.
