Living in Amesbury, Massachusetts
Amesbury earned the nickname "Carriagetown" in the 1800s, when mills along the Powwow River turned out carriages, and later automobile bodies, for buyers across the country. Many of those mill buildings now hold shops, restaurants, and condos downtown, and the Amesbury Carriage Museum tells the story. History is everywhere here: John Greenleaf Whittier's home is a museum, Declaration of Independence signer Josiah Bartlett was born here, and Lowell's Boat Shop has been building wooden boats on the Merrimack since 1793. For time outdoors, there's Lake Attitash, Lake Gardner, the Amesbury Riverwalk, and the views from Powwow Hill.
Amesbury Public Schools serves the city, with two elementary schools, Amesbury Middle School, and Amesbury High School. Interstate 495 runs through town with two exits and meets I-95 just over the Salisbury line, putting Boston, the New Hampshire Seacoast, and the Merrimack Valley within easy reach. Amesbury has no commuter rail station of its own; MeVa buses connect to the MBTA's Newburyport station.
Whether you're searching for a Federal-era home near downtown, a condo in a converted mill, or a place on the lake, Amesbury offers a lifestyle that's hard to match nearby. Explore homes for sale in Amesbury today, and let's find the property that fits your next chapter.
