Beachmont
Neighborhood in Revere, Massachusetts
Suffolk County 02151
Beachmont’s centuries-old homes
Many properties were built in the 19th and 20th centuries with weathered, frame construction and shingle roofs, resembling beach-town colonials and bungalows. Houses are close together, and some have modest yards in the front or back. Single-family homes often fall between $500,000 and $900,000, though outliers can be found on either end of the range. Townhouses and condos are another popular option and tend to sell below $600,000. New construction continues to pop up in Beachmont, including new townhouses off Bellingham and Bradstreet Avenues that Charido mentions will be available in the summer of 2024. Sidewalks are ubiquitous around the neighborhood, making it thoroughly walkable, and some of the major streets, like Winthrop Parkway, have designated bike lanes.

Beachmont recreation on water and land
Short Beach, a small, sandy refuge runs parallel to Beachmont and tends to draw less crowds than the much larger Revere Beach farther north. Revere Beach opened in 1896, making it the first public beach in America. Beachmont offers multiple parks to explore away from the water, as well. Fredericks Park is the largest, featuring multiple athletic fields, basketball courts and a playground set. Louis Pasteur Park is another option, including a basketball court and playground that was renovated in 2014, and it offers plenty of shade on sunnier days. Charido mentions that there are free, take-a-book, leave-a-book library boxes along Endicott Avenue, leading up to the park. Beachmont also borders Belle Isle Marsh Reservation, which is the last salt marsh in the Boston area. It is primarily used for hiking, and it has an observation tower overlooking plants and wildlife.

Public education options in Beachmont
Students in the area are zoned for Revere Public Schools and can begin their education at Beachmont Veterans Memorial School, which scores a C-plus, for prekindergarten through Grade 5. Middle schools in the district are chosen by lottery, and Garfield Middle, with a C-plus, is the closest option. Finally, students can head to Revere High, which earns a B, and is developing a Pathways Program for various post-grad career trajectories. The programs in development include Health Sciences, Robotics/Engineering, Marine Science, Hospitality Management and Education. Revere High also offers dozens of boys and girls sports teams, and some, including cheer and field hockey, are co-ed.

Beachmont events: from winter wonderlands to sand sculpting
Beachmont has plenty of events throughout the year, including the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Revere Beach is also the site of the International Sand Sculpting Festival each July. Held over three days, the festival draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. The beachfront sets the stage for exceptionally intricate and seemingly larger-than-life sand sculptures that turn out so refined, they look crafted from stone. The event also features fireworks, food vendors and live entertainment.Transportation around Beachmont and the Boston area
Beachmont has its own stop on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority subway along the Blue Line, making commutes to the city relatively seamless. The station is a short walk for Beachmont residents to reach, and downtown Boston is a 10-mile T ride, give or take, from the neighborhood. Beachmont is just east of Route 1A, which is an artery that drivers can use to get to Boston. Medical services are also easily accessible, with MGH-Revere HealthCare Center under 2 miles away. For air travel, the Boston Logan International Airport is only about 4 miles away.

Dining along Revere Beach and shopping at Suffolk Downs
Multiple restaurants sit adjacent to Revere Beach, where residents often go to dine. Seas the Day is a newer option for Vietnamese cuisine that just opened in 2023. For a date-night spot, Dryft and Fine Line are popular options off Ocean Avenue. Bianchi’s Pizza, a more casual restaurant farther north up Revere Beach Boulevard, has been serving up thin-crust pies since 1950. For a closer dessert spot on the way home, Torretta’s Bakery has everything from ice cream to strudels. Torretta’s also offers Italian fare, including paninis and pastas. Shops are run by well-known locals, contributing to Beachmont’s small-town atmosphere. For example, Charido says, “Everyone has been getting a haircut from Stephen Previte for 30+ years.” Previte’s salon, The Shop, sits off Unity Avenue. For retail needs, Beachmont residents tend to frequent The Shops at Suffolk Downs, a shopping center with a Stop & Shop grocery store and a Target.
