If a charming suburb with waterfront views sounds like your cup of tea, then Kingston is the perfect city for you and your family. Filled with historic architecture, stately homes, and a close-knit community, Kingston offers a unique lifestyle. Kingston sits along Kingston Bay, separating this city from Cape Cod, a luxurious tourist destination and upscale suburb.
Bay Farm offers scenic trails along the Bay, while locals can swim, boat, and attend community events like movie nights on the lawn at Grays Beach Park. Kingston is home to its own MBTA Station, and Highway 3 runs directly through town. In fact, this major roadway will take you all the way into Boston, located only 36 miles north! Colony Place is a great outdoor shopping center, and there are several local and chain dining options throughout the city.
