Best and worst neighborhoods in Newburyport

OK so I'm retired and Household incomes average around $144,259 in Newburyport. With a population of 18,444, Newburyport is a small town. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What neighborhoods would you suggest?

My experience has been mostly positive. it's improved dramatically in recent years. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.

I've been here 1 years and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the traffic is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is underrated.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Lakewood side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem solid.

I've been here 5 years and the quality of life is solid. The thing nobody mentions is walkability. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is challenging.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Springfield side vs the Greenfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Definitely worth checking out..
