Winthrop is a small Boston suburb directly across Belle Isle Inlet from Logan International Airport. The city is almost completely surrounded by water, sitting on the northern edge of Boston Harbor and connected to the mainland only by a narrow isthmus and the Saratoga Street Bridge. As one of the oldest settlements in Massachusetts, Winthrop is full of beautifully-preserved historic architecture, from the batteries of Fort Banks to the iconic Edward B. Newton School to the abundant antique homes throughout the community.
Winthrop Golf Club and public greenspaces like Ingleside Park offer great opportunities to spend time outdoors, and the easy access to water makes boating and fishing popular pastimes among the locals. The charming Downtown district provides a diverse selection of restaurants, coffeehouses, and specialty shops, and the close proximity to Boston proper makes it easy to hop into the city for work or leisure time.
