Some consider Beverly to be the birthplace of the United States Navy, but it is quite a residential community today. Boasting nearly 40,000 residents, Beverly has been ranked one of the best cities to live in. Could it be the super green lawns? Could it be the vast chunks of land situated in the Essex County community? It could be that the wide range of opportunities in the area range between suburban, urban and rural.
The median price of a single-family home in 2012 was about $355,000, and the city's total area is about 15.1 square miles of land. Today, the median home value may be closer to $450,000, but it depends on where you begin your home search. Many of the properties built in the 1800s still stand, including a wide range of Queen Anne and bungalow houses.
Beverly is situated just 16 miles away from Boston, and it remains one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts.
