Marblehead, MA 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Living in Marblehead is a thrill honestly. I love the state and living right here in the Massachusetts Bay is spectacular in more ways than one. I can't count how many crabs and lobster we caught on our last expedition, but it was a mighty tow. Understanding the ways of the water ...Read More and living so close is a must.

High prices of housing has put my family in a bit of a financial crunch over the past few years. Prices keep rising while wages are staying about the same. This makes it hard for many to own homes in the area due to high costs. I know most folk enjoy a good trip to the bar after a hard day at the factory, but other than the occasional chain store, there isn't much in terms of cuisine.

Taking a major shot this past season, we all felt the sting when the Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles. If you are a sports fan and looking for an amazing living experience right on the water, then Marblehead is for you. Read Less
