Historic Revere Beach and classic homes

Revere, a historic neighborhood 7 miles north of Boston, was named for Paul Revere, the famed Boston native who rode through the streets of Concord bellowing, “The British are coming!” But its name isn’t the only claim to fame for this beachside neighborhood. It also features the country’s first public beach, which stays busy year-round. Hotels in the area fill up every October with tourists planning to visit nearby Salem for spooky parades and haunting attractions. Most residents own their homes, but some rentals are available for those who want to live here without committing to ownership just yet. Locals can walk down the street to stop in a coffee shop, restaurant or bakery. Revere residents also have easy access to popular Revere Beach and bustling downtown Boston. Mostafa Elbadaoui, an experienced real estate agent with United Brokers in Revere, says, “There’s lots of shopping, many restaurants and a very diverse community.” Residents like being close to Boston, the beach and nearby amenities.

Revere Recreation Center keep kids active

The Revere Recreation Center offers multiple programs to keep kids active. Young residents might enjoy the tumbling or toddler soccer programs. Budding athletes can improve their basketball or volleyball skills here as well. Parents take their kids to Sonny Myers Park when they need to release their energy. This gated playground features swings, picnic tables and convenient parking. Locals also visit Revere Beach to play in the sand or splash around in Massachusetts Bay.

Revere Beach is the perfect place to escape and enjoy some time by the ocean.

1900s homes with convenient sidewalks

A single street in Revere holds a variety of home styles. Future homeowners can find American foursquares, shotgun duplexes, and Queen Anne homes. “Most homes were built in the 1900s, but some were built around 1994 and 1996,” Elbadaoui says. A recently renovated single-family home with three bedrooms can sell for over $500,000. Future residents looking for an investment opportunity in this beach neighborhood might purchase a multi-family home with six bedrooms for over $1 million. Many locals park on the street, but some homes have driveways that provide uncovered parking for a few cars. Paved sidewalks line the streets, making it easy for residents to bike or walk to nearby amenities or the beach.

Robotics, art and dance at Revere High

When kids are old enough for school, parents send them to Garfield Elementary School. Students later move on to Garfield Middle School. Revere High School hosts an annual student showcase for kids to show off their skills. Visitors might see the robotics club in action, a young artist’s masterpiece or a performance from the dance team. All three of these Revere schools earn a C-plus grade from Niche. “The public schools are very good, but some parents apply for charter schools in the nearby areas,” Elbadaoui says.

Boston Logan International Airport waits nearby for travelers

Those who want to visit or work in Boston can hop on a public bus or take the Blue Line train at Wonderland station. “Boston Logan International Airport employees move here to find housing that’s cheaper than Boston and is close to work,” Elbadaoui says. Tourists planning to visit nearby Salem for Halloween fun stay in Revere to get lower hotel rates and see the sights. This commuter-friendly tourist spot is always busy.
