A coastal New England town engulfed in natural beauty

Rural Scenic Coastal Upscale Wooded

Newbury is a pastoral, scenic New England community nestled along the Atlantic Coast between the Merrimack River and the Plum Island Sound. Dominated by farmland, open pastures, forests, and other natural areas, Newbury is the perfect rural oasis. The town encompasses three villages (Old Town, Plum Island, and Byfield), creating an extremely close-knit community. Newbury is upscale and quaint with a variety of architectural styles available, from colonial-inspired triple-decker apartments to impressive beachfront houses. Surrounded by natural beauty, residents spend their free time outdoors. You’ll find your neighbors and friends hiking at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge or enjoying the sun at Newbury Beach. Although Newbury is definitely for renters who prefer a slower-paced lifestyle, Boston is under an hour away, the perfect distance for a weekend trip.
