MA
Newburyport
Home base for Bentley's Real Estate — the #1 brokerage in Greater Newburyport since 2019. Once a major shipbuilding and clipper-ship port, its Federal-era brick downtown was saved by a landmark 1970s preservation effort and is now home to boutiques, restaurants, and a working waterfront. Population: ~18,700 (2024 est., US Census).

Plum Island
An 11-mile barrier island of beaches, dunes, and marshes stretching from Newburyport to Ipswich — a haven for birdwatching, fishing, and coastal living. Plum Island isn't an incorporated town of its own; its land is divided among Newburyport, Newbury, Rowley, and Ipswich. The southern two-thirds form the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, a major Atlantic Flyway birdwatching destination.

Ipswich
Founded 1634 — Crane Beach, Appleton Farms, and Castle Hill, with one of the North Shore's tightest housing markets (~1 month of supply).

Where the Powow and Merrimack rivers meet — a revitalized Millyard district of breweries and shops, one of the North Shore's fastest-rising markets.

Population: 17,366 (2020 US Census).

Haverhill
Essex County's largest city — a revitalized downtown arts district along the Merrimack River, with prices running 25% below the county average. Nicknamed the "Queen Slipper City," Haverhill was one of the nation's leading shoe-manufacturing centers by the early 1900s. Population: 67,787 (2020 US Census).

A classic New England beach resort since the 1860s, Salisbury Beach once hosted big-name entertainers like Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller. Today it centers on the Salisbury Beach Boardwalk and State Reservation. Population: 9,236 (2020 US Census).

Part of the 1719 Nutfield settlement, Derry split from Londonderry in 1827 and is the former home of poet Robert Frost. Population: 34,317 (2020 Census).

Essex
Best known for antique shops, Woodman's fried-clam legacy, and salt marshes along the Essex River, Essex split from Ipswich in 1819 and remains one of Cape Ann's smallest, most rural towns. Population: 3,675 (2020 Census).
MA
Gloucester
America's oldest seaport, settled in 1623, Gloucester is Cape Ann's largest city and still home to a working fishing fleet, Rocky Neck's art colony, and the Fisherman's Memorial. Population: 29,729 (2020 Census).
