More About West Newbury, MA Real Estate

West Newbury is a small town separated from its namesake Newbury by Interstate 95. Just a 45-minute drive from Boston, if you’re an executive who only infrequently needs to make trips into the city, West Newbury is comfortably far from Boston’s hustle and bustle to where going home really feels like getting out of the city.

With the Merrimack River forming its northern border, West Newbury is more about the land than what’s been built upon it. This is true, pure New England farmland, with lots of second-growth forests to get lost in on the weekends.

West Newbury residents live quietly. They manage gardens when they’re not managing businesses, they join historical societies, they paddle and row out on the Merrimack River, and they never take for granted the subtle grandeur of the countryside and their place in it.

West Newbury, MA Real Estate Market

West Newbury real estate is elusive. You have to really poke around the wooded streets to find the beautiful homes lying hidden in the forests. The median listing price for a single-family home for sale in West Newbury is $775K, but you can find several luxury properties well over the million-dollar mark.

Almost all West Newbury residents own their homes, with a small number of rental properties on the real estate market. Virtually every property is either a single-family home or an undeveloped tract of land, which would be well worth buying up in order to build up new homes. Homes for sale in West Newbury usually are of the saltbox, four-square, or colonial styles, which blend in well with the history and natural aesthetic of the area.

Being as small as it is, West Newbury doesn’t have neighborhoods so much as it has “areas.” We’ve broken the town up into three areas that will give you a good starting idea of how West Newbury real estate can vary.

West Newbury, MA Area Sampler

Living by the River

The Merrimack River is just to the north of West Newbury, and several properties line the waterfront. Though the homes here don’t stray in character too far from their counterparts, what they do have that others don’t are private piers stretching into the Merrimack. So if you own a boat, rather than pay a marina fee, you can just tie your vessel right up in your backyard.

Living by Main Street

If you’re looking to commute often for groceries, work, or pleasure, you should consider buying a house on West Newbury’s ‘main street’. Though there isn’t much on main street in the way of shops, you’ll find it easiest to get to other large towns in the area if you live right on the main road.

Living in the Country

Head south from the river and south from main street and you’ll find the most secluded homes in West Newbury. Though you won’t necessarily be living like Thoreau at Walden Pond, you can more or less count on peace, quiet, and privacy.. You’ll find some of the largest homes in West Newbury tucked back in these forest groves, with large lawns, driveways, and houses with five or more bedrooms.
