Where is the Next Real Estate Hot Spot on the North Shore?

Looking for the inside scoop on Bostons North Shore real estate? We asked Lanse Robb, #1 broker in Essex County for luxury sales, for his opinion on smart real estate investments on the North Shore. His top pick---Rockport, MA. In addition to being one of the most picturesque seaside communities on the North Shore, Rockport has been named one of the safest small cities and it is also home to the cultural jewel, Shalin Liu Performance Center.  

Uniqueness, privacy, and value have put Rockport in the minds of waterfront buyers. With signature properties prices at nearly 4mm, LandVest has seen significant interest and multiple offers significantly above the record sale for the town. As prices for signature waterfront properties in places like Manchester-by-the-Sea and Beverly Farms are nearly double that of Rockport, it is apparent that Rockport, a jewel of Cape Ann, offers a similar experience at a lower price.
