Why Live in Newbury
Located just an hour outside of Boston, Newbury offers perhaps the most genuine slice of rural life one can find—while remaining near to a major metropolitan area, at least. For those looking for a peaceful place to live, Newbury is one of the best options in the area. “The area is very quiet and very agrarian,” says Dolores Person, real estate agent and resident of Newbury. “It’s an old-school lifestyle in a very quaint town—everybody is laid back and to themselves,” says Person. With plenty of its historical agrarian charm still present to this day, Newbury offers residents the chance to step back into a simpler life. While there are a few other “rural” areas outside of Boston, Newbury exudes a more authentic rural life—thanks in large part to its focus on farming.
