Residential living in a historic section of Lynn
Settled in 1629, Lynn is one of the oldest towns in Massachusetts, making it one of the oldest in the United States. Since the beginning, the Chatham Street neighborhood was home to some of Lynn’s earliest elementary schools, railroad bridges and commercial developments. Today, Chatham Street still occupies the geographical center of Massachusetts's 8th largest town, offering affordability and convenience just minutes north of Boston. “This is a hot market as it has lots of multi-family homes, commuter rail access and is about 20 minutes away from Boston and the Logan Airport,” says Jose Rojas, who has been a Boston Realtor with over 20 years of experience at Success! Real Estate. Chatham Street is also halfway between the Lynn Woods Reservation and Nahant Bay, making it easy for residents to access both the beach and miles of peaceful and green trails in 1 to 3 miles.
Chatham Street is primarily a residential area but it's easy to access retail and dining.

Proximity to Lynn Woods Reservation and Nahant Beach
Recreational opportunities are available near the picturesque residential ponds surrounding the western borders of Chatham Street. The public tennis courts and playgrounds at Flax Pond Park bustle with activity on weekends, and older residents gather at the Flax Pond Rest Area to catch up with friends while feeding the ducks. On the other side of Flax Pond, Magnolia Park offers basketball courts and a large multi-use field for rec leagues and sandlot-style baseball games. Locals also take advantage of Keaney Park on the campus of Lynn English High School, where the track and playground are open to the public when classes are not in session. About 3 miles to the west, the Lynn Woods Reservation has over 2,200 acres of forestland and over 30 miles of trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Those who like the water can head 1 mile south toward the Lynn Shore & Nahant Beach Reservation, where people can swim in the ocean at Lynn Beach, go boating or sunbathe. There is a boardwalk that stretches along the shores for walks or runs, a playground and an athletic field for sports.

Victorian-era homes in Chatham Street
The neighborhood streets are almost exclusively residential, and front yards are rare in Chatham Street. Most houses sit close to the well-maintained sidewalks and are separated from one another by narrow driveways and tall hedges. Single-family colonials with New England embellishments dominate the housing market, and are defined by their sharply pitched roofs, gabled windows, porticos and stairs that lead into the sidewalks. Typically around 1,500 square feet, single-family Victorian-era homes usually list from $400,000 to $650,000. Larger multi-family properties, many converted from triple-deckers or three-story homes, fetch between $700,000 and $850,000. Investors can rent out all the individual units, or occupy one floor and lease the adjoining sections. “It’s a great place for a starter home,” says Paul Atwood, a real estate salesperson with Return Realty Group. “You get a lot more bang for your buck, especially when home prices and interest rates are high.”
Homes in Chatham Street are lined along the wide side walks.
