Upper Walnut Street
Suburban Neighborhood in Lynn, Massachusetts
Essex County 01905
Cape Cods with small yards and calm streets
Single-family ranch homes, raised ranches and Cape Cods fill the Upper Walnut Street neighborhood. “A few new townhouses are being built, but most homes are Cape Cods from the 1950s,” says Toner. Cars often sit on uncovered driveways or in the street. Light-colored siding and shingle roofs make the homes stand out against the nearby clusters of trees. A three-bedroom Cape Cod can sell for $450,000. A Colonial Revival with four bedrooms and a moderate yard can sell for $780,000 or more. Many homes sell within a week, but a few might sit on the market for up to a month.

Join cultural celebrations in Lynn or Saugus
Upper Walnut Street residents are always minutes away from exciting annual events. Locals head to Saugus every September to join the Founders Day street festival. Guests can see performances from local groups, taste what food vendors serve up and peruse the art stalls. Residents also visit downtown Lynn in April for the Cambodian New Year celebrations or the Greek Festival in September at St. George Greek Orthodox Church.“Local flavor” that keeps residents satisfied
Residents of Upper Walnut Street have plenty of shopping and dining destinations to try out. “There’s a lot of local flavor with all the nearby restaurants,” says Toner. Closer to Lynn, The Lido Café, Old Tyme Italian Cuisine and Tony’s Pub & Grill serve hungry guests hand-crafted dishes. Locals can order ahead at Pamino’s Pizza and Roast Beef or sit down for a slice. When it’s time to stock up on groceries, homeowners visit Trader Joe's or the recently built Market Basket. Residents can also drive down Broadway Street to spend the day shopping at the Square One Mall, picking up essentials at Target or gliding around the rink at Roller World.

Miles of nature to explore at Lynn Woods Reservation
North of the neighborhood lies Lynn Woods Reservation, the second-largest park in the country. Guests come to hike or bike over 30 miles of trails, go rock climbing, fish at Birch Pond or ride their horses. Fishing enthusiasts visit Breeds Pond to sit on the rocky shore and catch largemouth bass or yellow perch. Those who want more kid-friendly outdoor options head to the nearby Breed Park or Frey Playground.

Work and play along U.S Route 1
MBTA buses travel along Walnut Street to take residents to shopping destinations along Broadway Street and downtown Lynn. Locals who work in Boston hop on U.S. Route 1 to get to and from work in less than an hour. Homeowners who want a quick vacation drive 5 miles east to soak up the sun or swim in the ocean at Kings Beach.Spiking the competition at Classical High
Elementary students attend Julia F. Callahan School before moving on to Breed Middle School, both of which get a C rating from Niche. Classical High School unites the students with talent shows and fundraiser events to support local families. In addition to joining in fun school activities, kids can try out for the state championship-winning girls’ volleyball team or the city championship-winning swim team. Niche gives Classical High a B.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
