Bell North Shore

Nestled in a quiet, secluded corner of Salem, MA, Bell North Shore delivers a lifestyle that feels worlds away from the everyday hustle — yet keeps residents just minutes from downtown Salem, the ocean, and everyday conveniences like Whole Foods. Reviews highlight the standout location as one of the community's top perks, with residents loving the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. The amenities here are truly resort-caliber: an outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis courts, scenic walking and biking trails, a clubhouse, and even a pool table and shuffleboard ensure there's always something to enjoy. Inside, updated townhomes and apartments shine with in-unit laundry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, cozy fireplaces, walk-in closets, and private patios or balconies that flood spaces with natural light. Residents consistently praise the maintenance team for their rapid response times and the staff for their personalized, above-and-beyond service — many team members are called out by name in glowing reviews. The tight-knit, smoke-free community has a welcoming atmosphere that residents say makes newcomers feel right at home from day one, and both cats and dogs are welcome to join in on the good life.
