Peabody
A diverse, inviting community with close proximity to all major routes.
Residents enjoy a casual blend of indoor and outdoor public spaces, as well as a mix of high-end and casual dining establishments, shops, and entertainment venues. Peabody is a great place to raise a family, but it's also incredibly accommodating for young professionals and couples searching for their first home, as taxes here are lower than in surrounding towns.
West Peabody maintains a slightly more suburban feel with larger property lots and charming, amenity-rich neighborhoods. There are lots of parks and walking trails through much of the town. Closer to Peabody’s city center is a more urban-esque atmosphere, with numerous boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Peabody also hosts the North Shore Mall, which draws in people from all surrounding towns. This mall has a great variety of restaurants and stores.
When residents aren't walking their dogs or taking a stroll through one of Peabody’s many scenic paths, they participate in community activities, group sporting events, and general outdoor recreation at local parks, playgrounds, and green spaces. Community natural spots, dog parks, and ball fields at MacArthur Park, Lt. Ross Park, and Farnham Park encourage locals to get outside and enjoy their picturesque town. When it’s time to socialize with fellow neighbors, residents head to Peabody’s bustling center or to nearby Historic Salem, Massachusetts, to indulge in a variety of shops and the infamous city’s history.
Peabody offers residents excellent shopping and dining options. A top shopping destination in New England, the Northshore Mall boasts a wide variety of boutiques and restaurants inside its multi-level retail space.
A local favorite place for a bite to eat is Pellana. At this high-end steakhouse, you can enjoy savory, mouth-watering menu items like bone-in filet mignon, prime ribeye, swordfish, and sliced tenderloin. For lighter fare, locals head to Ithaki Modern Mediterranean. They have everything from beef tenderloin skewers to vegetarian dolmades. It's the place to be when you want blackened salmon, pan-seared duck breast, and unforgettable pasta dishes.
Peabody is just a stone's throw away from some really great waterfront towns, such as Salem, Massachusetts. Rich with its own unique history, a trip to Salem is an aspiring historian's dream come true. There's also plenty of shopping and water activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. Peabody is also close to Marblehead and its quaint “Old Town” full of charming homes, shops and restaurants, and lots of water activities as well.
Peabody is home to a number of exciting festivals. In winter, locals watch the tree lighting at the Christmas Festival of Trees and participate in a number of competitions, games, and other events. There's also the city's annual Ice Sculpture Stroll, where residents marvel at the artistic creations of their fellow neighbors. In spring and summer, events like the Peabody International Festival bring out the region's top vendors to create mouthwatering global cuisine.
A favorite community spot, the local YMCA, is where residents of all ages can enjoy fitness classes and programs and utilize facilities, including basketball courts, a fitness center, and more. It’s conveniently located just off the highway.
