<div>Ipswich's development as a suburb of Boston happened in the middle of the 20th century and now, a lot of the town's residents commute to work in Boston by via car or public transport. Some of Ipswich's attractions are Crane Beach, Castle Hill, salt marshes and the town's namesake river. &nbsp;All of which open up opportunities for tons of hours of watersports and fun. Two state parks and extensive forestry, three huge plots of land owned by religious groups and multiple, sprawling farms and estates that protected by law provide a rural feel to parts of the Ipswich community. There are 12 churches representing a wide array of different faiths and numerous active social, civic and fraternal organizations.</div>
