The South Shore of Massachusetts provides easy access to both the city of Boston and the beaches of Cape Cod, with many beaches and waterfront properties of it’s own. Many neighborhood have streets with large, tree-lined streets, offer “walkable” downtowns and access to excellent schools.
In 1640, the town of Braintree was incorporated and named after the English town of Braintree. It comprised land that was later split into Randolph, Holbrook, and Quincy, as well as parts of Milton, Massachusetts. The “North Precinct” of Braintree, which is now the bulk of the city of Quincy, was the birthplace of presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, as well as statesman John Hancock and General Sylvanus Thayer, the “Father of West Point.”
Today, Braintree is part of the Greater Boston area with convenient access to Route 3 and the MBTA Red Line as well as the Commuter Rail. Shopping, restaurants and good schools along with tree-lined neighborhoods make it a wonderful town in which to live.
