You have heard of Cape Cod but you may not have heard about Massachusetts's best kept secret, Cape Ann. Those who live on the "North Shore" are happy to keep their gold coast to themselves and for good reason. Restaurants as refined and diverse as you'll find 30 minutes south in Boston. Live music and the arts as well including Beverly's historic Cabot Theatre and North Shore Music Theatre, Rockport's Shaolin Performance Center and others. Miles and miles of pristine beaches. No high-rises on the ocean. Just an unspoiled coastline, much of it protected. Miles of trails for hiking and biking. Picturesque, historic yet vibrant towns like Manchester, Ipswich, Hamilton, Essex, Rockport and Gloucester. Some of the best public school systems in a state, Massachusetts, that perennially leads the nation in test scores. And of course, first class private school choices like Phillips Academy, The Governors Academy, The Pingree School and St. John's Prep. Simply put, there isn't a better place to live and raise a family in Massachusetts than on the North Shore.
