Salem, MA – history, culture, and just a bit of magic
Home to Strongwater Crossing, Salem, MA is rich in history and culture. Back
in the 17th century, the small seaside city of Salem generated a reputation likely
far more fantasy than fact, but nonetheless tightly woven into the fabric of this
culturally diverse and artfully inclined community. The mystical arts that were to
have flourished in those days gone by still evoke Salem's mischievous side, much to
the delight of residents and visitors alike.
Living in Salem is to live a charmed life, with its myriad of shops, restaurants,
art galleries, waterfront attractions, and of course, the obligatory haunted house.
And since this quaint community is a mere 30 minutes from Boston, it provides the
right mix of urban access, with the feeling that home is a well-deserved getaway -
even more deserved when home is at Strongwater Crossing.
In Salem, the modern conveniences of luxury suburban living are punctuated by
architectural expressions centuries old. A city on the sea, Salem's waterfront
provides breathtaking views while the imagination may even envision one of the
ancient vessels that docked there two hundred years ago.
