Boston Globe has reported that Essex County is one of the healthiest real estate markets in the country. The North Shore has long been an attractive haven to Massachusetts home buyers. Well known for its miles of coast line, historical town centers, equestrian facilities, artist communities, public and private schools, and easy commute to Boston; now it’s official, even in a rocky economy buying your next home on Boston’s North Shore is a safe bet. Whether your search is in one of the beautiful inland communities of Hamilton, Wenham, Topsfield, Boxford, Andover, or North Andover or the coastal communities of Manchester by the Sea, Gloucester, Beverly, Essex, Ipswich, and Marblehead, LandVest has a variety of listings for sale on the North Shore.
