Revere is a highly developed residential suburb, approximately 5 miles from
downtown Boston. Sixty percent of Revere's total of 4,054 acres is
developed for industrial, commercial, residential and transportation uses
and of this total 70% is used for housing. Almost 900 acres are open water
or wetlands.
The city is within a short distance of all major urban amenities, including
theaters, institutions of higher learning, museum and medical facilities.
Convenient access is available to Logan Airport, downtown Boston, passenger
and freight rail service, Routes 1,93, 128 and the Massachusetts Turnpike.
For its size, Revere is a more complex community than most, owing to its
multi-cultural and diverse population, its older residential neighborhoods
and housing stock and the numerous specialized regional facilities within
its borders. Revere Beach was the first public beach in the United States
and is host to Suffolk Downs horse racing track, Wonderland dog racing
track and a 14 screen cinema complex. Revere also hosts three MBTA public
transportation stations and is the northern terminus of the Blue Line.
During the past decade, an extensive system of parks has been developed and
improved.
Revere offers several historical sites, including the home of Horatio
Alger, born in Revere in 1832 and the author of 119 books, Ye Old Rumney
Marsh Burial Grounds, Slades Mill, and Tuttle House, which was built in
1690.
