More About Newburyport
Colonial residences line the banks of Merrimac Street along the river and homes are known for their beautiful flower gardens. Newburyport offers residents and visitors a range of activities including an accessible waterfront and boardwalk, as well as a picturesque downtown shopping district.
Although the area has attracted a significant tourist population, it offers full-time residents a selection of housing and opportunities, with more than half the residences belonging to families, most with young children. Throughout the year there is a focus on cultural events including concerts, and farmers’ markets. Newburyport has a charming small community feel, yet remains vibrant and lively year-round. Located about 37 miles north of Boston, the city has good transportation links by train and highway.
