Amesbury is great because it is fairly small, but you are close to a ton of great things. If you get tired of walking around our downtown, Newburyport is right next door with a plethora of shops to go to and restaurants to eat at. Boston is only a train ride away from the station in Newburyport (about 10-15 minutes away). You are also in very close proximity to Salisbury and Hampton beaches, as well as only a short drive away from a hike up a mountain.
Amesbury is a nice small city. There are some things to do like the Cider Hill Farm and the Lowell Boat House. It also borders New Hampshire to the north and the Merrimack River to the south. The Amesbury Riverwalk is a nice place to take a walk. There are many stores and restaurants in Amesbury. Downtown used to be a bad area but it has improved a lot in the last several years. Crime has dropped in Amesbury as a whole as well. There are some vacant buildings but there really aren't that many. It borders both Newburyport and Merrimac, which are both very nice places to live.
Amesbury is essentially perfect. It centralized to everything you could ever want. You're within an hour of a variety of cities including Boston, Portsmouth NH, and Newburyport MA, etc. You're less than 2 hours away from some mountains, while the ocean is less than a 20 minute drive.
Amesbury is close to the New Hampshire border, so you're able to do tax-free shopping as you please. If you love the small town feel with the convenience of everything nearby, Amesbury is place for you. Not to forget, food is amazing from pub fare to higher class fare as you please.
