North Quincy — sometimes called the “City of Presidents” — is the birthplace of Founding Father and late President John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams. The city’s past was mostly industrial, with granite and shipbuilding exports financing the region. Today, North Quincy is a residential and commercial area with many multicultural markets and restaurants.
North Quincy is home to numerous outdoor playgrounds and recreational fields. Welcome Young Park and Wollaston Park are both in the neighborhood, as are Teel Field and Joseph W. Koch Field, which was named after the man who created the space. Perhaps North Quincy’s best view can be found on Wollaston Beach at sunset. This public, 2-mile stretch is the largest beach along Boston Harbor. The nearby Wollaston Yacht Club, the area’s premier yacht club since 1897, is a great spot to store a boat and enjoy food, drinks and social functions.
There are a variety of housing choices in North Quincy. Most streets have sidewalks and off-street parking, making for a very walkable neighborhood. There are multifamily residences with separate entrances and federal-style colonial homes that have been converted into apartments. There are also some single-family residences in styles such as garrison and split-level, as well as townhomes and mixed-use spaces. Homes here tend to stay on the market for about two weeks and typically sell for between $700,000 to $900,000.
Shop for everyday essentials at chain stores such as CVS and Walgreens or at the independently owned Snack Monkey, a well-stocked store with a variety of Asian treats. North Quincy is home to several chain restaurants and local businesses. Grab a bubble tea from YoCha, an Asian-inspired dessert shop or have dinner at Wei Shu Wu Hot Pot, known for its décor as much as its cuisine.
Students in North Quincy attend Quincy Public Schools, a well-rated district. Kids may start at Francis W.
