North Suburbs-Essex is a northern suburb of Boston in the city of Lynn off the banks of the Nahant Bay and Broad Sound. This large area stretches from Highway 1 to just above the coast making travel and coastal beaches accessible. Travel 10 miles south to get to the heart of Boston, or stay in town to find sprawling golf courses and nature preserves like the Rumney Marsh Reservation. Conveniently located malls and plazas along Highway 1 provide residents with all the necessities, and Lynn’s downtown area, located just outside of the neighborhood’s limits, is home to great restaurants and boutiques. Renters will find modern apartments and condos as well as a few cozy single-family homes and townhomes available for rent.
