The Groveland Vibe

Quiet riverside town north of Boston with good (not elite) schools, genuine New England character, and actual land—if you can handle the commute

Groveland offers what's increasingly rare in Greater Boston: genuine affordability for space. $825K gets you a 3,700sf house on actual land, not a cramped lot. Pentucket Regional Schools are solid (7.8/10), community is tight-knit, and you're along the Merrimack River. The cost? 55+ minute commute and limited local amenities. But if your priority is "biggest house, most land, still decent schools," this works.

Highlights
💰 $825K median—real affordability for space
🏡 Avg 2,758sf homes on substantial lots
🌊 Merrimack River access and conservation areas
📚 Pentucket Regional Schools (7.8/10)—solid academics
🚌 MVRTA bus service connects to Haverhill (limited)
🌲 Pines Recreation Area for hiking and community events
