The town is set apart from Newburyport via the Artichoke River. In addition to Merrimack and Artichoke, a range of other rivers cut through West Newbury. This area is sometimes fondly referred to as "a village of Newburyport" because of its small size and placement very near Newburyport. At one time, the location was primarily used for farming, but it is now a highly-sought after residential town. Homes are grand with outstanding views and custom details. You may be able to purchase a Nantucket shaker style home, Colonial, or other personalized style dwelling. Due to the area's proximity to a host of waterways, an assortment of homes with water views are often for sale. The properties don't disappoint as you can expect manicured lawns, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens, wrap around decks, multi-acreage, and two car garages, sometimes all on the same parcel of land. It is possible to find a home with upwards of ten rooms, a master suite with fireplace, or a barn on the property.
