Sitting just north of Boston along the Mystic River, Everett punches well above its weight for a city that spans only four square miles. The Encore Boston Harbor resort and casino anchors the waterfront and draws a steady buzz to the area, while the Mystic River Reservation gives residents a green escape without leaving the city limits. Broadway serves as a lively corridor where local eateries and international spots reflect the city's deeply diverse character, and the nearby Gateway Center covers everyday shopping needs with ease.
Getting around is refreshingly simple here. The MBTA Orange Line connects riders to Downtown Boston in minutes, and Interstate 93 keeps car commutes manageable. Somerville's Assembly Row is also just a short hop away, adding even more dining and entertainment options to an already well-stocked neighborhood scene. Historically, Everett was named after Edward Everett, a celebrated orator and statesman who once served as governor of Massachusetts.
The rental market reflects Everett's growing appeal, with options ranging from classic multifamily homes and converted lofts to newer high-rise apartment communities along the waterfront. Whether you're drawn to the Glendale or Woodlawn neighborhoods, there's a solid range of layouts and price points to explore.

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.
