Kimberlee's Top Tips For Beverly Living
For Buyers:
- Explore neighborhoods like Ryal Side, Beverly Cove, and Centerville for a mix of suburban quiet, coastal access, and commuter convenience.
- Consider proximity to Beverly Depot or Montserrat Station—easy commuter rail access to Boston adds long-term value.
- Look for properties near Beaches (Dane Street, West Beach) or the downtown arts district if walkability, ocean views, and lifestyle are priorities.
For Investors:
- Beverly’s mix of Endicott College, downtown revitalization, and access to Boston makes it ideal for long-term rental income and steady tenant demand.
- Multi-family properties, especially in Ryal Side or near Cabot and Cabot Street Arts District, are solid assets for appreciation and consistent returns.
- Keep an eye on the waterfront and commuter corridors—these areas tend to attract higher-end tenants and offer growth potential as Beverly’s profile continues to rise.
