Close-knit community for over 100 years
Tucked in a northwestern corner of suburban Lynn, Massachusetts, is Pine Hill, a small, charming neighborhood with a big, long-standing community spirit. "Everybody knows everybody and looks out for each other in Pine Hill," says Maura Cronin, a 15-year Pine Hill resident and vice president of the Pine Hill Neighborhood Civic Association, which has been fostering the friendly neighborhood vibe since 1915. "It's the kind of place where neighbors shovel each other's driveways and kids are safe to play and ride bikes around the neighborhood because there are trustworthy and caring eyes on them at all times." Cronin adds that her fellow neighbors are as welcoming as they are supportive. "It's a group of people that have really pulled in the same direction to keep that feeling of connection and inclusivity."
Charming vintage homes for putting down roots
Homes in Pine Hill include single-family colonials, shingle and ranch-style homes, and larger multi-unit properties situated on modest lots and sidewalk-lined streets. Many homes date back to the late 19th and early 20th century, producing a sense of living history throughout the neighborhood. "You're starting to see a lot of people adding to the smaller, older homes because once people move here, they don't want to leave," Cronin says. "That's what we did. We didn't want to move from Pine Hill, so we added a second story to our home and turned it from a one-level ranch to a two-level colonial." Cronin's family aren't the only neighborhood residents who choose to plant deep roots in Pine Hill. "It can be hard to get in this neighborhood," Cronin says. "There's not a lot of turnover. Some people have been here for 30, 40, 50 years." Pine Hill home sizes range from around 900 to 3,400 square feet, and prices span from $390,000 for a two-bed single family needing some TLC to $920,000 for a triplex with a renovated owner's unit.
Pine Hill has multifamily homes in many areas of the neighborhood.
Traditional New England home styles are prevalent throughout Pine Hill.

"It's one of the top elementary schools in Lynn."
Breed Middle School has a student to teacher ratio of 14 to 1.
Lynn Classical High School is nestled in the heart of Lower O'Callahan Way, Lynn, MA.

Neighborhood park where neighbors gather
In addition to the nearby Lynn Woods Reservation, a 2,200-acre forest park crisscrossed by over 30 miles of multi-use trails, Pine Hill residents also enjoy outdoor time at Gallagher Park, a neighborhood green space with a playground, baseball and multi-use fields, and basketball courts. The park is home to the Pine Hill Little League and, according to Cronin, is a popular spot with the neighbors, and as the League Information Officer and spouse of the league's president, she should know. "Everybody gathers at the park every spring, especially for the baseball games. If the kids are looking for someone to play with, they go to Gallagher. There's always someone there." Not to be left out of the outdoor fun, Pine Hill's four-legged friends have Barkland Avenue Dog Park, a fenced bit of green space with separate sections for small and large dogs.
Pine Hill is home to the Lynn Woods Reservation with lots of hiking trails.

Long-standing local hang-outs
For a bite to eat and a drink with friends, locals enjoy snagging a booth or cozying up to the bar at The Lido Café, a popular neighborhood hang-out specializing in pizza and seafood. Residents looking for a caffeine pick-me-up, a poetry reading or some live music will find it all at the Walnut Street Coffee Café, and Tony's Pub & Grill is a neighborhood staple and a top spot to catch a Red Sox or Patriots game while enjoying a cold beer and tender steak tips, a New England favorite. "Tony's was started by a Pine Hill resident over 50 years ago," Cronin says. "They have the very best French onion soup around." Pine Hill-area residents needing to pick up ingredients for dinner at home or do a weekly pantry restock will find what they're looking for at the neighborhood Stop & Shop or nearby Market Basket grocery stores.
Tony's Pub & Grill in Pine Hill is a friendly place to grab a burger and drink.

Annual community festivities
The Pine Hill Neighborhood Civic Association has a long history of bringing neighbors together through events like a Fourth of July parade, a Halloween costume parade and trunk-or-treat, and a lively fall craft fair. In November, Pine Hill residents join the wider Lynn community in Central Square for the town's Festival of Lights, a tree and menorah lighting ceremony featuring student performances, hot chocolate, and lots of holiday cheer.
Accessible transport links to Boston
Many Pine Hill residents own cars and commute to work, some making the 13-mile drive along Route 1 into downtown Boston. For those who prefer to leave the driving to others, there are several Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority bus stops across Lynn, and the Market Square at Western Avenue light rail station is about a half-mile from Pine Hill.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
