Located 5 miles from downtown Boston is the city of Revere. Originally named North Chelsea at its founding in 1846, the city was renamed in 1871 after the American Revolutionary War to commemorate Paul Revere.
Home to America’s first public beach, Revere Beach is still one of the most popular attractions in the area. This stretch of coastline brings visitors and locals together, from annual festivals like the Sand Castle Competition to iconic New England eateries that line the strip. Over the past few years, Revere Beach has undergone progressive updates and modernization, sparking renewed interest in this established destination.
Revere blends coastal appeal with a mix of urban energy and suburban character. With several residential communities and access to several MBTA Blue Line stops, Revere is a convenient and vibrant city.

This now vacant site of the former Wonderland Dog Track is available for sale by the current owner, CBW Capital. It is adjacent to the existing Blue Line transit station and a planned new commuter rail station. There has been preliminary interest in this site for residential, commercial and entertainment purposes. To those ends, it is expected that an overlay zoning district would be approved, as was done at Suffolk Downs; and the permitting process could/would proceed thereafter, once a developer is selected. This site is completely within the City of Revere; and it has been designated as an Opportunity Zone, with attendance tax benefits.
