7/14/2016As a local of Salem I would have to disagree with the cost of living here ... It's Expensive for what you get, old houses with NO yards ! The traffic is terrible ALL the time and the school system is just as bad ! In fact the school were designated some of the worst in the state a few years back. There is no real sense of community for the locals it's mainly about the income the tourists can bring into this city. Parking is ridiculous, the roads are terrible and if you don't like crowds then stay away from June thru November.

7/14/2016Long time resident I agree with you. Traffic is terrible all the time, the schools are some of the worst in the state and I don't think there is a great sense of community here and definitely not an all around great place for school age children! If you're looking to move to this area it would be worth your time to look at Dancets MA... Great place for families :))

7/14/2016I could not agree more with the failing school system in Salem, the horrible roads, the extremely heavy traffic throughout the city and the lack of a deep rooted community ! Sure you have your locals wherever you go and there are some nice things about Salem but overall it is not a great place for a family !! If you're looking for a nice place to live with your family in this area check out Danvers MA.... Lots to offer !!
