MOVING FROM BOSTON TO LYNNFIELD | STAIRHOPPER MOVERS

Are you looking forward to moving from Boston to Lynnfield? What we know as Lynnfield today was once two villages. The one was mostly a farming community, while the other was more mixed. Here you could find inns, a quarry and a soda bottler as well as a couple of places to eat. Then in about 1814, these two villages became one, and a very affluent one at that.

After World War Two, many people migrated to the area to enjoy the dances and horse shows that Lynnfield hosted. This influx allowed Lynnfield to grow into a more metropolitan suburban town.

The town now stands at just over ten square miles. The Ipswich River runs along its border and there are many little rivers in the town. On another border runs the Lynn Woods Reservation, and on another side is a National Guard Base. There are also a number of lakes, namely Suntaug Lake, Reedy Meadow, Pillings Pond, and Walden Pond.

Demographics

Lynnfield has a population of approximately thirteen thousand people. Most of these people own their own homes. These homes generally have a value of about six-hundred and fifty thousand dollars. These people also own their own cars and drive about thirty minutes to get to work, where they earn, on average, fifty thousand dollars a year.

Schools

Schools in Lynnfield are some of the best. Lynnfield High School was ranked as one of the top five hundred schools in the United States. Here more than seventy percent of the students take at least one of the advanced programs the school offers. The math proficiency is one of the highest at ninety-eight percent, while reading proficiency is a whooping one hundred percent. Given these statistics, it is no wonder that ninety-eight percent of their students graduate. This leaves students ready for college.

There are of course many private schools as well as schools for younger students, but it is Lynnfield High that truly shows the brilliance of the schools in the area.
