Salisbury is a New England beach town right by the border of New Hampshire. Incorporated in 1639 as a community in Essex County, Salisbury, with its pristine beach shorelines and the arrival of railroads, became a popular summer resort destination in the late 1800s. Today, the area is known for beach parties, concerts and celebrations in the summer, relatively affordable waterfront homes, acres of conservation land, scenic beach views and proximity to Newburyport and New Hampshire. “Salisbury has so many unique things,” says Frank Bertolino, the District Governor of District 33N and a Realtor at eXp Realty with 15 years of experience. “It’s in close proximity to the New Hampshire and the Maine border, the ocean is right there and it has one of the best property tax rates in the state.”
