Known around the world as the site of the Salem Witch Trials, the city of Salem draws curious visitors interested in learning more about the area ’ s history.
But in spite of the city’s sensational past, it’s now a low-key place to call home. Its downtown area gives residents plenty of inviting places to convene, while parks and waterfront spots allow for moments of solace. Given the town’s long list of amenities and its proximity to Boston, it’s no wonder that real estate in Salem is everpopular.
A cruise around residential sectors reveals dwellings in all shapes and sizes, from multiple-family homes with plenty of space to updated condos occupying old buildings. Neighborhoods are more condensed near the center of town, so check out the area near the Forest River Conservation Area to be a bit more secluded.
