The South End

The South End of Newburyport is one of the city’s most picturesque and historically rich neighborhoods. Nestled along the Merrimack River and just a short stroll to downtown, this area is known for its narrow brick sidewalks, cobblestone streets, and rows of beautifully preserved Federal and Georgian-style homes. The South End combines architectural elegance, waterfront charm, and walkable convenience, making it one of the most sought-after places to live in Newburyport. Why Buyers Love the South End Historic Architecture & Charm The South End is home to some of Newburyport’s oldest and most iconic houses, many dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Buyers appreciate the wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and original fireplaces that speak to the city’s maritime past—often thoughtfully paired with modern renovations. Walkability & Lifestyle Living in the South End means being steps from downtown Newburyport’s shops, cafés, and restaurants, while also enjoying easy access to Joppa Park, Perkins Playground, and the Harborwalk South Trail. It’s a neighborhood designed for those who value a walk-to-town lifestyle. Waterfront Proximity Many homes in the South End enjoy views of the Merrimack River or easy access to the waterfront. Boating, paddleboarding, and riverside strolls are part of daily life here. Real Estate Appeal The South End market is highly competitive, with historic single-family homes and luxury condominiums in high demand. Its blend of location, history, and charm ensures strong long-term value for buyers and investors.

 

 

The South End is located east of downtown Plum Island.  Along High Street, down to Water Street, and from Federal Street east to Ocean Avenue. 

Overview: The area around The South End is regarded as the earliest and first developed part of Newburyport. First Period, Georgian, and Federal architectural styles are the most prevalent, and some Italianate and Greek Revival homes are also in the area. Patios and small yards rather than big backyards are more common in this area. The houses often have smaller lots, driveways, and backyards. The South End is the most urban feeling of Newburyport with its densely packed streets and proximity to downtown. With its rich history and beautiful architecture, the South End is considered the city’s most desirable area, which means you will pay a premium to live there.

Area amenities: With its proximity to downtown, the South End is an excellent location if you want to avoid depending on a vehicle daily. The rail trail that follows the river and travels the entire city route can be accessed from various parts of the South End. There are also several parks, including Perkins Playground and Joppa Waterfront Park. The tannery Marketplace, located at the bottom of Federal Street, is filled with various shops, including Jabberwocky Bookstore, Riverside Cycles bike shop, Choco Baking Co., and the Black Duck Market, a convenience store and deli.
