With it proximity to Boston its no wonder why people love moving to \Merrymount.
Convenience and coastal amenities just outside of downtown Quincy
Located just east of the Quincy Center, Merrymount is a coastal area offering urban convenience and serene views of the Atlantic Ocean. Here, older Cape Cod and Colonial Revival homes line curving streets alongside mature oak and cherry trees. These houses are a short walk away from dining and shopping options along Sea Street, as well as green spaces that range from pocket parks to sprawling beaches and historic landmarks. The neighborhood has a small-town feel, but with MBTA transit systems and the Southern Artery just to the west of the neighborhood, downtown Boston is a short trip away for commuters.

After school fun and coastal views at Merrymount Park
Across Black Creek, children and adults gather at Merrymount Park, an 80-acre waterfront space gifted to the city by John Quincy Adams’ grandson in the late 1880s. Today, residents can hike, walk their pets and enjoy a show at the bandshell. The William F. Ryan Boating and Sailing Facility teaches children the skills needed to enjoy the water. Some of the most popular recreation areas in the community are school facilities. Behind Merrymount Elementary School is Perkins Playground, an ample green space with athletic fields and playground equipment. For beachside fun, residents are about 1.5 miles from Wollaston Beach, and members of the Merrymount Association can reserve Merrymount Beach for picnics and private gatherings.
Merrymount has a multitude of different styles of architecture.
Renovated older Quincy homes
Neighborhood streets in Merrymount are lined by wide sidewalks and manicured lawns. Well-maintained Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals from the early-to-mid 1900s sit on lots with plenty of room for a game of catch. “A lot of the buildings have older outsides but have had renovations inside; it’s all really pretty,” says Tatum Logan, the assistant property manager at Towne House Apartments since 2022. Prices in the area can commonly range from $650,000 to around $950,000, though luxury townhouses with views of the water may sell for close to $2 million.

Merrymount Association and library events
The neighborhood is home to the Merrymount Association, which hosts various events throughout the year for residents. The association has been around for almost 100 years and has an annual membership for those in the community who wish to join. In warmer months, Food Truck Fridays take place on Merrymount Beach, accompanied by live music and picturesque waterfront views. The Freedom Celebration and July 4th Parade is another association event complete with DJs and dancing on the beach as members watch the night sky light up with fireworks. The Thomas Crane Public Library also hosts regular events, which range from movie screenings to bingo nights.

Merrymount’s taverns and bakeries
Dining options include Merrymount’s beloved Fox & Hound on Sea Street, where classic pub fare is served in an atmosphere of low lighting and dark wood accents. “It’s right next door, so lots of residents tend to go there,” Logan says. For a sweet treat, locals can head to Ginger Betty’s, a bakery that has been serving the Quincy community since 1995. Logan is partial to their gingerbread. “It gets super busy during Christmas time,” she says. The Stop & Shop in Quincy Center is the closest grocery store — it's between a few blocks and 1 mile from neighborhood homes.

MBTA’s Red Line and bus access to Boston
Exploring Quincy can be done effortlessly along the winding sidewalks of Merrymount. “Lots of people in Quincy don’t even drive — everything is so walkable,” Logan says. The area is also a hit with commuters due to neighborhood Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority bus routes along the Southern Artery and the nearby Quincy Center Red Line T station, which allows for a 20-minute trip into Boston. Flights can be reached via Boston Logan International Airport, just 13 miles north, and Atrius Health is less than 1 mile away for medical care.
