    "Very quiet…. Miss a real downtown or city center feeling. Besides that, the area is safe and very nature oriented. It is close to the ocean and there are lots of walking areas."
  • Andrew W.
    "Brutal trip down to the Waltham area, but ok if you can go off peak hours. Great if you work in the city, with a commuter rail stop right here in town."
  • Andrew W.
    "There are lots of dogs being walked around town every day. No problem at all for dog owners. We have 2."
  • Andrew W.
    "It is easy to commute to Boston either by highway or the commuter rail station in town, but it still has small-town charm and is close to many great parks and beaches."
  • jane d.
    "I have lived her for ten years. My son choice d in to Ipswich and my daughter went to Triton. Triton is building a beautiful field house. Great sports. The town fixes everything fast. The common is lovely all lit up at Christmas and tons of activities. We have a train station also with parking. "
  • Amymbennett
    "The town takes excellent care of the streets and lighting. If you have a problem they are there the next day. It is a nice country town with ponds. My son actually fishes with his friend. Very close to Newburyport and shopping. Excellent restaurants in this area as well as next town Ipswich and Essex."
  • Thorntontd
    "Did you know that Rowley was recently voted #5 of the top 12 spots to live by the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine? Excerpt: Rowley, population 5,500, is a farm community, a horse community, a true bedroom community. People get to know their neighbors."
