What it’s like to live here

Quincy is one of Greater Boston’s most versatile places to live. It sits right on the water, offers easy transit into the city, and still has true residential neighborhoods that feel separate from the bustle of downtown Boston.

Depending on where you are in Quincy, your day might include a beach walk at Wollaston, dinner at Marina Bay, or a commute from Quincy Center into Boston — all in the same week.

It’s urban enough to feel alive, but suburban enough to breathe.

Neighborhoods & housing

Quincy has a wide range of neighborhoods, from waterfront condos and new apartment buildings to classic single-family streets that feel more traditional and residential.

You’ll find everything from starter condos and townhomes to larger single-family houses, making Quincy appealing to first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and people relocating from Boston or out of state.

This variety is one of Quincy’s biggest strengths.

Schools & community

Quincy Public Schools serve a large and diverse student population and offer a mix of neighborhood schools, magnet programs, and extracurricular opportunities.

Outside of school, Quincy has a strong sense of local identity. Restaurants, community events, and the waterfront help create a lifestyle that feels active and connected.

Getting around

Quincy is extremely commuter-friendly. Multiple MBTA Red Line stations, major highways, and ferry access make it easy to get into Boston, Cambridge, and surrounding areas.

Many people choose Quincy specifically because it offers more space than Boston while still keeping city access simple.

Who Quincy is great for

Quincy is often a great fit for:
• Buyers who want more space without moving far from Boston
• Professionals who commute into the city
• People who love being near the water
• Anyone who wants a mix of urban and suburban living

It’s one of the most flexible towns in the Boston area.
