One of Massachusetts' earliest Colonial settlements, Lynnfield traces its roots to 1638 when colonists first established farming communities around what was then known as Lynn Village. Today, this charming North Shore town of about 13,000 residents maintains its historic New England character while offering diverse living options, from apartments and townhomes to single-family rental homes.

Lynnfield's Market Street development has become a centerpiece for local shopping and dining, featuring over 80 stores and restaurants in an outdoor plaza setting that even includes a winter ice rink. The town is dotted with natural beauty, including several lakes and ponds such as Suntaug Lake and Pillings Pond, providing scenic backdrops for many rental properties. The Lynnfield Commons area and neighborhoods surrounding Lynnfield Center offer a mix of housing styles within easy reach of local amenities.

Located just 14 miles north of Boston, Lynnfield provides convenient access to the city via Interstate 95 and Route 1, making it an excellent choice for commuters seeking a tranquil suburban setting. While the town itself no longer has a commuter rail station, nearby Wakefield offers MBTA service on the Haverhill Line. Major employers in the area include the headquarters of HP Hood, and the town's position between Boston and the North Shore gives residents access to numerous professional opportunities while enjoying Lynnfield's peaceful neighborhoods and excellent public schools.
