    Welcome to the beautiful town of Hingham, MA! 

     

    Hingham is known for its incredible colonial history and stellar location on Boston Harbor. 

    Hingham is a beautiful town located on the water with 21 miles of shoreline. The town has created 6 historic districts which will help it maintain its unique character in the future. These districts include Hingham Center, Hingham Shipyard, Bare Cove Park, Black Rock Road, downtown Hingham, and Fort Hill. Each district has its own unique history and character. For example, Hingham Center is the site of the first meetinghouse in Hingham, while the Hingham Shipyard is home to the oldest continuously operating shipyard in the United States. The Bare Cove Park district is characterized by its scenic views and hiking trails, while the Black Rock Road district is home to a number of historic homes and buildings. By preserving these historic districts, Hingham will be able to maintain its unique character for generations to come.

    Hit the beach, watch the sunset🌊

    Hingham Harbor Bathing Beach

     A family-friendly beach with ample parking and the beach is truly public, yes FREE.

    Be sure to plan your visit for high tide – mud flats at low tide mean that the beach is good for picnicking but little else. 

    If you’re beach-bound on a Saturday, keep in mind that much of the parking lot adjacent to Bathing Beach is home to the Hingham Farmer’s Market from 9AM-1PM (from May until November). 

    If water sports are more your thing, Hingham Recreation rents kayaks and stand-up paddleboards ($30 for a two-hours rental) on Wednesday mornings from 7AM – 11AM and on weekends on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7AM-7PM.

    I'm Susana Murphy, and I founded ALANTE with a clear vision and a passion for redefining what real estate should be. Let me share with you why ALANTE exists, what we stand for, and what we aim to offer both our valued clients and our dedicated agents. ALANTE Real Estate wasn't just a business venture for me—it was a calling born out of a deep-seated belief in doing things differently, and doing them better. Having been in the real estate industry since 2005 myself as a top producing Realtor, I saw firsthand the immense potential for innovation and improvement. I recognized that traditional practices were falling short in meeting the evolving needs of clients and agents alike. My vision for ALANTE was simple yet profound: to elevate the real estate experience by combining cutting-edge technology combined with story driven marketing and timeless values. In an industry often defined by transactions, I wanted to focus on service. I wanted to create a space where clients felt heard, valued, and supported every step of the way, and where agents could thrive in an environment that prioritizes collaboration, growth, support and integrity. At ALANTE, we believe in offering our clients more than just transactions—we offer them transformative experiences. We understand that buying or selling a home is not just a financial decision; it's an emotional journey filled with dreams, aspirations, and life-changing moments. That's why we approach each interaction with empathy, expertise, and a genuine desire to exceed expectations. For our agents, ALANTE is more than just a brokerage—it's a community of like-minded professionals committed to excellence. We provide our agents with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed, all while fostering a culture of mutual respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. We believe that empowered agents create exceptional experiences for our clients, and that belief is at the core of everything we do. In an industry that's constantly evolving, we remain steadfast in our commitment to innovation and adaptability. We embrace technology not as a replacement for human connection, but as a catalyst for enhancing it. From advanced marketing strategies to streamlined processes, we leverage technology to enhance efficiency, transparency, and results. We don't just meet industry standards—we set new ones. We believe in raising the bar and redefining what it means to be a leader in real estate. Our dedication to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction sets us apart, and it's what drives us to continually push boundaries and exceed expectations. So, whether you're a client looking for a personalized, unparalleled real estate experience or an agent seeking a supportive, forward-thinking brokerage, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Together, we're not just reimagining real estate—we're elevating it to new heights. Welcome to ALANTE Real Estate, where your vision meets our passion.
