Living in Salem MA
Situated on the north coast of Massachusetts about five miles north of Lynn and nearly 25 miles northeast of Boston, Salem is a historically rich city. Known as the center of several 17th-century witch hunts and trials, Salem embraces its past but exists as a thoroughly modern community. Locals head to the Point, the downtown district near the South River that houses distilleries, breweries, seafood restaurants, local candy shops, and more. Just north of the Point lies a selection of museums and attractions that explore the history of the city and the infamous witch trials that took place there. Along Fort Avenue on the northernmost point of the city is Dead Horse Beach, Waikiki Beach, and a few parks that provide amazing views and access to the water. Rentals in Salem range from upscale apartments near the water to charming townhomes in historic buildings near downtown, with the cost of living reflecting the city's growing popularity and demand for housing.
