Peabody was just voted #1 City to Live In by realtor.com!
Peabody Town Center, located between Main Street and Lowell Street, is a civic and commercial Peabody neighborhood with a walkable downtown grid and a classic New England streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Main Street and Lowell Street junction, where storefronts, cafés, and municipal buildings set a steady, daytime bustle. The George Peabody House Museum, Peabody Institute Library, and The Cabot anchor local culture with history, reading rooms, and live performances. Brick civic blocks mix with older wood-frame homes on side streets, giving the area a layered architectural feel. Independence Greenway threads nearby, adding a linear route for walking and biking. Sidewalk-scale blocks and frequent crosswalks support errands on foot.
