Finding balance in Beachmont

Beachmont’s advantageous location, both by the beach and near a wealth of amenities, has earned its unofficial nickname as the capital of Revere. “The generation-owned community is close and is always willing to help each other out,” says Chris Charido with RE/MAX Renaissance, who was born and raised in Revere. He also mentions that the most unique aspect of the area is “being 30 seconds away from the beach at all times.” The culture here revolves around the water, but Boston is also about 7 miles away. Residents can feel like they are living in a secluded beach town, but urban amenities and big-box stores are just down the road. Students here have schools nearby, and parks abound on both water and land. Homebuyers looking for beachfront living with a city in their backyard can embrace the best of both in Beachmont.

Beachmont recreation on water and land

Short Beach, a small, sandy refuge runs parallel to Beachmont and tends to draw less crowds than the much larger Revere Beach farther north. Revere Beach opened in 1896, making it the first public beach in America. Beachmont offers multiple parks to explore away from the water, as well. Fredericks Park is the largest, featuring multiple athletic fields, basketball courts and a playground set. Louis Pasteur Park is another option, including a basketball court and playground that was renovated in 2014, and it offers plenty of shade on sunnier days. Charido mentions that there are free, take-a-book, leave-a-book library boxes along Endicott Avenue, leading up to the park. Beachmont also borders Belle Isle Marsh Reservation, which is the last salt marsh in the Boston area. It is primarily used for hiking, and it has an observation tower overlooking plants and wildlife.

Louis Pasteur Park is a hidden gem of a park with lots of space to play.

Dining along Revere Beach and shopping at Suffolk Downs

Multiple restaurants sit adjacent to Revere Beach, where residents often go to dine. Seas the Day is a newer option for Vietnamese cuisine that just opened in 2023. For a date-night spot, Dryft and Fine Line are popular options off Ocean Avenue. Bianchi’s Pizza, a more casual restaurant farther north up Revere Beach Boulevard, has been serving up thin-crust pies since 1950. For a closer dessert spot on the way home, Torretta’s Bakery has everything from ice cream to strudels. Torretta’s also offers Italian fare, including paninis and pastas. Shops are run by well-known locals, contributing to Beachmont’s small-town atmosphere. For example, Charido says, “Everyone has been getting a haircut from Stephen Previte for 30+ years.” Previte’s salon, The Shop, sits off Unity Avenue. For retail needs, Beachmont residents tend to frequent The Shops at Suffolk Downs, a shopping center with a Stop & Shop grocery store and a Target.

Beachmont events: from winter wonderlands to sand sculpting

Beachmont has plenty of events throughout the year, including the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Revere Beach is also the site of the International Sand Sculpting Festival each July. Held over three days, the festival draws hundreds of thousands of visitors. The beachfront sets the stage for exceptionally intricate and seemingly larger-than-life sand sculptures that turn out so refined, they look crafted from stone. The event also features fireworks, food vendors and live entertainment.

Beachmont’s centuries-old homes

Many properties were built in the 19th and 20th centuries with weathered, frame construction and shingle roofs, resembling beach-town colonials and bungalows. Houses are close together, and some have modest yards in the front or back. Single-family homes often fall between $500,000 and $900,000, though outliers can be found on either end of the range. Townhouses and condos are another popular option and tend to sell below $600,000. New construction continues to pop up in Beachmont, including new townhouses off Bellingham and Bradstreet Avenues that Charido mentions will be available in the summer of 2024. Sidewalks are ubiquitous around the neighborhood, making it thoroughly walkable, and some of the major streets, like Winthrop Parkway, have designated bike lanes.
