About Central
Lynn
Central Lynn, located between Lynn Common and the Saugus River waterfront, is a historic and walkable Lynn neighborhood with a classic downtown street grid and a strong civic core. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Central Square area at Union Street and Exchange Street, where storefronts, cafés, and everyday services line the sidewalks under old brick facades. Architectural cues lean toward late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial blocks mixed with compact multifamily streets. Lynn Museum/LynnArts and the Lynn Auditorium anchor the cultural calendar with exhibitions and live events. The MBTA Lynn station and the busway keep the pace commuter-friendly, while Lynn Common adds a green pause for lunchtime loops and weekend gatherings.
