Encompassed by yacht clubs and marinas, South Salem is the dream community for anyone who loves boating.
The neighborhood (and Salem) has had quite the past – tourists come to South Salem to experience the maritime and witch trial historic sites. The harbor is where residents and visitors can explore the docked Colonial-era vessels. Other family-friendly attractions here include the home that was featured in the movie Hocus Pocus, Hamilton Hall, and the living history museum at Forest River Park.
This museum – Salem Pioneer Village – affords locals and visitors the opportunity to experience life back in the 17th century. Many festivals are also held at the site, including the Salem Shakespeare Festival. After a tour of the colony, visitors enjoy a relaxing break at the park’s riverfront beaches.
Residents of South Salem are comforted by the proximity to Salem State University, and adore the community’s beautiful New England-style residences and trendy eateries.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
