Why Live in Manchester-by-the-Sea
Manchester-by-the-Sea is part of Cape Ann, a coastal community just an hour north of Boston. The location has gained familiarity due to the 2016 Oscar award-winning movie Manchester by the Sea. But the small town still has an undiscovered charm — paired with luxury homes and high-end prices. "It's just the most quintessential New England town," says Realtor Holly Fabyan, a vice president with J Barrett & Company. Having worked and lived in the town for over 40 years, Fabyan cherishes the small-town community and surrounding natural beauty.
