Once a major tobacco manufacturing hub in the 1700s, Cliftondale has been a prominent Saugus village for centuries. Today, the industrial plants no longer exist, and the community is better known for its close-knit atmosphere. “Every village in Saugus has some sort of defining characteristic. This is the friendly one,” says Kristin Gennetti, a team lead with Century 21 North East, who has sold several homes in the area. “Cliftondale has its own town square with some cute restaurants, and there’s a Memorial Day parade.

Houses built between the 1800s and 1920s sit on compact lots along Cliftondale’s sidewalk-lined streets. Styles include Colonial Revivals, cottages and Craftsman-style bungalows.
