Suburban North Shore neighborhood in Lynn
While Lynn features a busy downtown area, industrial history and a peaceful shoreline, its Victory Road neighborhood has a more suburban, community feel. Tall, shady trees, hilly residential roads and homes made of clapboard and vinyl are some of the emblems of this quiet area, about 2 miles from the heart of Lynn. “Most streets here are dead-ends, and that secluded feel fosters a sense of community,” says Albert DiVirgilio, Lynn native and broker-owner of RE/MAX 360 in Lynn along with his wife, Katie. “It’s an insulated neighborhood that’s tight knit near the Salem and Peabody lines,” he says. Potential homebuyers looking at the North Shore have historically chosen Swampscott or Salem, but Lynn’s relative affordability and 15-mile proximity to Boston have made it a highly desirable home base in recent years.
Forests, the floating bridge and a pirate cave
Victory Road is situated adjacent to Floating Bridge Park, home to the historic bridge built against the surface of a small body of water. On the other side of the neighborhood, Harold A. King Town Forest has a park trail for hiking and on-leash dog walking. The flagship of Lynn is its 2,200-acre Lynn Woods Reservation, the second-largest municipal park in the U.S., within about 5 miles of the neighborhood. Here, locals hike, mountain bike, cross-country ski and attend guided nature walks. On a clear day, its stone tower provides panoramic views of Boston in the distance. The reservation is also home to Dungeon Rock, which invites brave visitors to explore its underground tunnel, rumored to be a pirate grave. Gannon Municipal Golf Course provides a public 18-hole course, complete with a pro shop, right next door to the reservation.
Floating Bridge Pond is a staple of the Victory Road neighborhood and is fun to walk around.

The many annual events of Lynn
Lynn offers a slew of unique activities throughout the year. The events here serve as an arts and cultural draw to the area, with anything from hip hop festivals to holiday celebrations. The Cambodian Khmer New Year Celebration is an annual event with dance performances, a parade, vendors and live music. The Lynn Christmas Eve parade passes through as many streets as possible in town, traveling 23 miles over a span of over five hours. The parade features colorful, lit-up floats, holiday music and Santa Claus. Lynn has many summer events, as well, including the Arts & Culture Festival, which celebrates the town’s diverse population with countless creative displays and performances. For a full list of activities, Lynn Community Television compiles all events into one calendar.
Homes of Vinyl in Victory Road
Area homes were primarily constructed throughout the 20th century, and many have undergone modern renovations. Bungalows and ranch styles are popular, with some colonials thrown into the mix, and many homes have concrete foundations and vinyl siding. Houses primarily fall in the $550,000 to $750,000 range and have driveways, modest front lawns and sidewalks that connect neighboring properties. Some homes here are built to adapt to the hilly terrain, adopting sloping lot plans and garages that level out properties on steep slants. Most residential areas lead to cul-de-sacs, limiting through traffic and fostering a closer community.

Victory Road’s public and private education options
Lynn Public Schools is an urban education district serving about 16,000 students. Victory Road students are zoned for Hood Elementary, which has a C-minus grade on Niche, and Pickering Middle and Lynn English High both earn C grades. These options all sit within 1 to 2 miles of the neighborhood. Pickering, which was originally built in 1905, is scheduled to begin construction of a new building in the summer of 2024. Families can also choose private options, including St. Pius V. and St. Mary’s schools. “When people ask about education, I tell them that every child learns differently, and there are plenty of options for education, depending on what you’re looking for,” DiVirgilio says.
