Cottage Park
Waterfront soundproofed early 1900s homes
Many homes in Cottage Park were built in the early 1900s in styles such as Colonial Revival, New Englander and American Foursquare. These homes are situated along gently curving roads with mature trees shading the sidewalks. Some also offer waterfront views. The neighborhood is within a mile of the Boston Logan International Airport, but thanks to the efforts of the airport, many homes have been soundproofed. “I can see the planes taxiing from my house, but I barely hear them,” Ferrara says. Prices can range from $600,000 to about $1.2 million.

Sailing and sports around Cottage Park
Ingleside Park, one of the more prominent parks in Winthrop, has a skate park, playground, athletic fields and a roller hockey rink. All the amenities are connected by a large open green space and paved trails. Boat enthusiasts can head to The Cottage Park Yacht Club located on the southern end of the neighborhood, where members can store their boats and take adult and youth sailing classes. Just a mile north is the Winthrop Golf Club, a semi-private 9-hole course with a clubhouse and restaurant. During the warmer months residents can head to area beaches, including Winthrop Beach.

Mexican and Italian dining in Winthrop
La Siesta Restaurante is less than a mile away and has been a welcomed addition to the community since it opened in 2006. They are best known for their margaritas and authentic Mexican cuisine that can be enjoyed both inside or out on the patio. Piccolo Piatti is at the northern end of town and offers Italian dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menu items include classic margarita pizza, chicken piccata or even an eggs benedict with prosciutto. Winthrop Market Place is a nearby grocery option. Residents can also grab fresh produce at the Winthrop Farmers’ Market every other Sunday morning from June to October at Ingleside Park.

Variety of waterfront transportation options
The streets of Cottage Park have sidewalks for pedestrian access and space for the local Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority buses that run along Pleasant Street. These buses lead to State Route 1A and two different metro stations on the Blue Line. Residents are also just a short trip from the Winthrop Landing Ferry, which runs to and from downtown Boston during the warmer months of the year. The MGH-Revere HealthCare Center is 3 miles north of the community.

Advanced courses in Winthrop schools
Arthur T. Cummings Elementary School is where education starts for many in Court Park, and it earns a B-minus rating on Niche. Students can then move on to Winthrop Middle School, which scores a B. They can then head to the B-rated Winthrop High School, which is well known for its college prep and advanced courses.

Winthrop events and parades
The Cottage Park community is close to annual events that are held in Winthrop. Some of these include the Fourth of July Celebration and Horrible's Parade, where costumed residents march around the community, passing out candy. There is also a parade on Christmas Eve, when Santa rides around on a firetruck, waving to families as they prepare for the holidays.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
