Ipswich is one of the oldest towns in America and one of the most beautiful on the North Shore. It’s home to the famous Crane Beach, the Great House estate at Castle Hill, and a downtown that looks much like it did centuries ago. The commuter rail line connects residents directly to Boston’s North Station, and the housing market offers everything from antique center-chimney colonials to newer waterfront properties. It’s a town where history and lifestyle intersect.
