From Cape Ann harbors to Merrimack mill cities to the inside-128 ring, twenty-one Massachusetts towns make up East Point’s working radius. Some we know block-by-block. All we know well enough to tell you when the move is right — and when it isn’t.
Granite headlands, harbor towns, and the working coast — first-period houses, fishing fleets, and shoreline that has shaped New England for four centuries.
Walkable downtown, a working harbor, and commuter rail to Boston — the rare North Shore town where the water and the train station are both within five minutes of dinner.
See BeverlyAmerica's oldest seaport — a year-round arts scene, a working fishing fleet, and the rare coastal town that doesn't fully empty out in winter.
See GloucesterCrane Beach, first-period houses, and zip codes that hold their value through any market — the upper end of the North Shore.
See IpswichFederalist row, harbor walk, and the downtown that's become the cultural anchor of the upper coast — but not the price ceiling everyone assumes.
See NewburyportGranite cottages above the cove, small footprint, and uncompromising about what kind of town it wants to be.
See RockportFar beyond October — the most architecturally rich downtown north of Boston, with Pickering Wharf, the Common, and one of the deepest condo markets on the coast.
See SalemApple country and old farms a short drive from the water — Topsfield Fair towns, route-114 communities, the quieter inland register of the North Shore.

See SaugusThe Fair, Bradley Palmer State Park, and Essex County's most consistent equestrian-property market — a town that protects what it has.
See TopsfieldThe river corridor — historic mill cities, riverfront active-adult communities, and good schools that have made this a steady draw for downsizers and move-up buyers alike.
Riverfront active-adult living on the Merrimack — Hatter's Point and a hill-town downtown that's quietly become one of the upper-coast's best small markets.
See AmesburyTop-ranked schools, mature neighborhoods, and resale strength that has held through every market cycle since the 1980s.
See AndoverMill-city renaissance — restored downtown lofts, riverfront active-adult, and a quietly strong rental market for buy-and-hold investors.
See HaverhillTenney Mansion and a steady, family-rooted Merrimack town that has been quietly desirable for thirty years and still doesn't get the press.
See Methuen
Edgewood Retirement Community, Lake Cochichewick, and one of the most consistently desirable towns in the Merrimack Valley for downsizers.
See North AndoverThe medical-employment ring — transit access, Routes 93 and 128, growing over-55 housing stock, and proximity to Boston without the commute of being in it.

Horn Pond, Delaney at the Vale, and the medical-employment commute that doesn't go through the city.
See WoburnTwenty-one towns is where we work most often, not where we stop. If your move is in another Massachusetts town — or just over the border in southern New Hampshire — the right thing to do is start with a conversation. We’ll know within fifteen minutes whether we’re the right practice for what you’re trying to do.
