Welcome to Winthrop Massachusetts, also known as Winthrop by the
Sea! Winthrop is a picturesque, small coastal hamlet nestled at
the Northern entrance to historic Boston Harbor. You actually feel
that you can reach out across the water and touch the great city
from here. It is only 15 minutes to Boston by auto and less than
25 minutes by public transportation. Having only 1.6 square miles
to its area, many Winthrop residents know one another by first name.
Because Winthrop is a peninsula that is actually East of Boston,
the ocean, harbor and Boston skyline views are quite stunning and
majestic.
Winthrop boasts four
yacht clubs, two marinas and a golf course. Miles of sandy beaches
provide weekend entertainment on those hot summer days. Winthrop
has just completed a state of the art commercial and residential
pier to support the fishing industry, boaters and a commuters’ ferry
to Boston. Winthrop also offers an ice rink, a youth center, Community
Theater, plenty of children’s parks and ball fields and never ending
community functions such as Fourth of July fireworks, summer Boston
harbor cruise, parades, old fashion family day at the beach, a Historical
Association Strawberry Festival, citizen’s award banquet, a taste
of Winthrop and Holiday Tree Lighting Festival. Winthrop is also
a great walking town with miles of ocean side sidewalks and a general
overall secure environment.
With two new elementary
schools, Winthrop is making an investment in its children. Winthrop
offers pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, two elementary schools, middle
school and a high school. Winthrop’s high school graduates are accepted
to top colleges and Universities in the U.S. and Winthrop’s sports
teams are known throughout the state of Massachusetts as top contenders.
Winthrop has also made an investment in its Senior Citizens with
a state of the art Senior Center.
Winthrop offers an array
of housing from elegant 1900 Victorians, to ranches, condominiums,
and two and three family homes. Some of these homes and condominiums
offer the excitement of waterfront and beachfront living. Winthrop’s
Deanne Winthrop House is one of the oldest homes still in use in
the country.
With six different business
areas in town, Winthrop residents can do most of their necessary
shopping right here in Winthrop. Many small restaurants, bistros
and cafes add to Winthrop’s ambience and appeal.
