Part of the so-called Irish Riviera, this erstwhile fishing village has five town beaches, a bike path, and a rec department on overdrive that organizes everything from kids' cooking classes to a babysitter training course. Starter-home neighborhoods feature shingled bungalows topping out in the low $400,000s, and some solid elementary schools. The new Greenbush commuter rail line gives the town easy access to Boston, making it ripe for price gains.
