It may not be news to anyone who lives there, but CNN Money has named Weymouth, MA the 52nd best place to live in the USA in its annual poll.

Weymouth is bordered on the west by Quincy, Braintree and Holbrook.  It is bordered on the south by Abington and Rockland. Weymouth is bordered on the east by Hingham.

Weymouth contains the Weymouth Back River and the Weymouth Fore River; its surroundings, formerly industrial, are now set aside as parks and natural areas including Webb Memorial State Park.

 

Weymouth residents often designate which of four distinct 'districts' they live in.

  • North Weymouth is considered anything north of the intersection of Church Street, North Street and Green Street. Some of the sites around North Weymouth are Great Esker Park, George Lane Beach, and the Abigail Adams Historical Society.
  • South Weymouth is mostly south of Route 3.
  • East Weymouth is somewhat in the center of Weymouth, including Whitman's Pond, Jackson Square, and Town Hall. East Weymouth has several fine examples of Victorian homes, including Queen Anne, shingle, and colonial revival homes. Some particularly fine examples of these homes are being restored on Hillcrest Road.
  • Weymouth Landing spans a mile around Weston Park.

Weymouth is served by several MBTA bus routes as well as three MBTA commuter rail stations.

Congrats!
