Hingham

A seaside town with an easy commute to downtown Boston, Hingham has all the qualities of a classic New England community: a thriving town center, colonial heritage, and a true neighborly sensibility.

Situated on the South Shore, Hingham is a charming community with classic New England character. As one of only two towns that offers direct ferry access to Boston businesses in the Financial and Waterfront Districts, a Hingham home is desirable for commuters who prefer an alternative to train and car travel.

The rise and fall of tides reflects the rhythm of day-to-day life in Hingham. As a former industrial fishing nexus, maritime activities are still avidly pursued. When the winds pick up, sailboats head out into the harbor. Future captains learn the ropes in classes at the Hingham Maritime Center, and the occasional rower can be spotted glazing across the water at dawn.
