Ipswich’s 01938 blends a classic New England coastal town with everyday convenience and a strong community vibe. Set along the Ipswich River and the Great Marsh, residents enjoy four distinct seasons—breezy summers at Crane Beach and foliage-filled falls—plus easy outdoor time at Appleton Farms and Willowdale State Forest for hiking, biking, birding, and winter walks. Downtown offers coffee culture at Little Wolf Coffee and Zumis, local brews at Ipswich Ale, casual favorites like Choate Bridge Pub and Riverview, and errands at Shaws, the Ipswich Family YMCA, and farm stands, with bigger shopping at North Shore Mall a short drive away. The MBTA commuter rail makes Boston commutes straightforward, while quiet streets and historic First Period homes give the area its distinctive character. Recent Zillow Market Trends show a median rent around $3,000, with most listings roughly $2,200–$4,200 in the past few months. Generally family- and pet-friendly, with many trails and beaches featuring seasonal pet rules.
