Neighborhood

Rich history and urban convenience meld together to form the coastal community of Quincy Point. Located about eleven miles outside of Boston, Quincy Point sits just east of Quincy Center (which is the “Point”) between Town River Bay and Weymouth Fore. Originally the site of a naval shipyard, the area attracted shipbuilders, fisherman, and even aviation pilots, forming a truly military-oriented community.

Though residents have a solid connection to Boston, they still very much display a strong and independent sense of identity. In addition to their Quincy Point apartments, locals share the love of the community beaches like Avalon. The popular Wollaston Beach, just two miles away, provides more than two miles of shoreline, a jogging and biking trail, and the Moswetuset Hummock National Historic Site. The United States Naval Shipbuilding Museum is housed at the shipyard, a cool and fun-filled family outing. Another great destination, Faxon Park, is about a mile from Quincy Point.

School data provided by 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.
