Homes for Sale in Gloucester, MA Sell Like Hotcakes for Many Reasons

On the Northern Shore of Massachusetts, lies a city called Gloucester, a truly hidden American gem inside Essex County. It is one of the most famous summer vacation destinations in the United States, thanks to a coastline stretching over 60 miles. Besides the coast, art lovers also feel at home in Gloucester. The world-class museums and art galleries feature works of art from the 19th century. They are open to the public too, so residents and visitors alike can enjoy.

A rapid growth infuses the City of Gloucester with vitality. As of 2016, nearly 30,000 people resided here. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, this number represents a 3.5 percent increase compared to 2010. Find out why people find this idyllic city so attractive.
