A slower pace in South Peabody
Just a stone’s throw away from Downtown Peabody and Salem, South Peabody offers a quiet, suburban reprieve from its busier neighbors. “This area lends itself to family-oriented homebuyers, and homes here have yards, unlike those downtown,” says Realtor Kate Fabrizio with J. Barrett & Company, who has over 40 years of experience in Peabody. Complete with a few restaurants, plenty of park space and accessibility to Interstate 95 and Route 1, South Peabody epitomizes suburban living right outside of a small North Shore city and about 20 miles from Boston.
From nature trails to golfing greens in South Peabody
South Peabody includes plenty of outdoor spaces, such as the 7-acre Lakeshore Park, resting along the edge of Brown’s Pond, which has a boat launch. Raddin Park has tennis courts and athletic fields, and MacArthur Park is known for its playground and paved walking trails. The Spring Pond Nature Trail leads through trees along the water, with some small foot bridges and a few benches. There are plenty of nearby conservation areas just south of the neighborhood in Lynn, home to the second-largest municipal park in the country, Lynn Woods Reservation. The neighborhood also spotlights an 18-hole public golf course at The Meadow at Peabody.
Come down to Lakeshore Park with a friend and try your hand at some fishing.
