Bustling town center with easy access to downtown Boston
Known as the birthplace of American presidents, Quincy Center blends a rich past with a bright future. The neighborhood was home to Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, as well as Revolutionary War figure John Hancock. While the city pays homage to its history, successful efforts to revitalize the neighborhood have brought fresh life to Quincy Center. With commuting options such as the MBTA Red Line station in the heart of the neighborhood, it's a choice location for those looking to move out of the city while remaining connected to downtown Boston. “The community is lovely and blooming, I think it’s one of the best neighborhoods in this area to live in,” says Mary Kelleher, a Realtor with Gibson Sotheby’s Internation, who has over 38 years of experience in Boston real estate.

Rich Colonial history to explore
Quincy Center is home to Adams National Historical Park, a 13-acre compound where John Adams, his son John Quincy Adams and numerous members of their family lived. Now a museum, visitors can tour the impressive gardens and well-kept homes of the former presidents and their families. There’s also the Stone Library, where John Adams collected over 6,000 books on various topics. Quincy recently invested $300 million into new developments, including the Hancock Adams Common. The Common includes a park and plaza that connects pedestrians and cyclists to the city’s downtown area. Residents can stroll on the beautiful new promenade, enjoy community events, have a picnic on the grassy lawn or sit under a tree-shaded bench. The Hancock Adams Common is a hub for events throughout the year in Quincy Center, including holiday celebrations, concerts and seasonal festivities. The Thomas Crane Public Library regularly offers jazz and classical concerts, theatre performances and historical re-enactments for residents of all ages to enjoy.
