NEWBURY REAL ESTATE PROFILE
By Michelle Pelletier Marshall

The quaint town of Newbury is a sought-after locale for having a home, tucked away amid sprawling lawns and pastures yet close enough to all the amenities of city living in Newburyport and convenience to Route 95 and the commuter rail.

Originally the town included Newburyport and West Newbury, which are now set off on their own, leaving the three villages that now make up Newbury: Old Town or Newbury Center, Byfield and Plum Island. Your local real estate agent can provide details of the charm of living in each area of town.

Having these distinct areas of town affords for a limitless number homes for sale that offer comfortable living. From grand, custom-built Colonials nestled in private estates to seaside living with magnificent views from waterfront condos on Plum Island, to lovingly renovated antique barns and Cape-style homes, there is a house here that suits your needs. With access to the newly-remodeled elementary school and the nation’s first and oldest college preparatory school, the Governor’s Academy in Byfield, education needs are exceptionally served when making your home in Newbury.

Put your boat in the ocean at the town dock and maneuver your way through the famous salt marshes that help designate much of the area protected land, including the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and several other reservation and wildlife management areas. Numerous walking trails and outdoor activities abound in town, as well as wildlife learning opportunities at the Plum Island-located refuge management headquarters.

These are just some of the amenities that make buying a home in Newbury a rewarding endeavor.
