Coastal living in the heart of Winthrop
Part of a peninsula town on the Atlantic Coast that sits about 6 miles east of downtown Boston, Downtown Winthrop is outlined by pristine ocean shores, docks and marinas, creating a community that's oriented by its coastal lifestyle. Nautical homes with ocean views and properties within minutes of the beach are prime attractions for homebuyers, and the town’s proximity to Boston is convenient for commuters. “Lots of people come to town looking for waterfront properties,” says Elizabeth Ferrara, local Realtor and partner at Cottage Hill Real Estate with 13 years of experience. “Winthrop has lots of sailing programs and many marinas and beaches; it has a nice beach town feel here.”
Large homes are found along the coast, waterfront of Downtown Winthrop.

Historic waterfront homes in Downtown Winthrop
Peaceful beach cottages, Cape Cods and colonial-inspired homes sit close together on Downtown Winthrop’s established streets. Single-family houses are often alongside multi-family properties, condos and some multi-use or commercial storefronts. While some homes can date from the early 1800s to the present day, most properties were built between the 1850s and 1950s. Lot sizes usually fall between 3,000 and 7,000 square feet, with occasional waterfront estates having over three-quarter acres of yard space. “There are lots of condo conversions here from multi-family properties,” Ferrara says. “Single-family homes go between $700,000 to $1.2 million, and multi-families can go from $600,000 to $1.1 million. Waterfront properties are definitely priced higher, but they are still really hard to come by.” Condos typically start at $300,000 and can fetch $800,000 if they offer ocean views. Homebuyers may be required to purchase flood insurance for properties in designated flood zones.
Colonial style homes can be found throughout Downtown Winthrop.
Smaller homes are also found throughout Downtown Winthrop.

From yacht clubs to public parks
As a coastal community, downtown Winthrop is surrounded by beaches, marinas and yacht clubs. Residents are often out walking along the shores of Donovan’s Beach or Winthrop Beach while watching planes flying in and out of Logan International Airport. In the warmer seasons, after people go boating and sailing, they usually park their boats at one of the many marinas in town. Yacht clubs such as Winthrop Yacht Club and Pleasant Park Yacht Club not only serve as social venues for community members, but also offer activities such as youth and adult sailing instructions and programs. Winthrop Golf Club opened in 1917, featuring a nine-hole course that’s open to the public on Mondays. Community events such as the local farmers market take place at Ingleside Park, which also has a skate park, tennis courts and a baseball field. Fort Banks Elementary School has a soccer field often used for games and practices.
Winthrop Beach is known for it's proximity to Boston but also for being a warm coastal town.
Locals can walk through the Nerio pathway as they enjoy the sunset falling on Belle Isle Marsh Marine Ecology Park.

Historic waterfront restaurants that anchor the community
Belle Isle Seafood is a popular waterfront restaurant with classic New England fare. People can enjoy fresh seafood entrees while watching planes take off against the Boston skyline. The Winthrop Arms Hotel and Restaurant is a historic hallmark that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. “The place dates back to 1916,” Ferrara says. “When you step inside you feel like you are going back in time. It was beautifully renovated recently, and people from all over come to Winthrop specifically to see this establishment.” The restaurant is known for its signature chicken pot pie and other American dishes. For fine dining, Vuolo's is an independent Italian eatery with a cosmopolitan atmosphere, and Nick’s Place is the area’s staple pizzeria. For groceries, Winthrop Market Place sits in the center of the community on Revere Street. About 2 miles north in Revere, The Shops at Suffolk Downs is a shopping mall home to Target, Stop & Shop, local businesses and chain restaurants.
Nick's Place in Winthrop has some of the best sandwiches in town.
