Easy parking, not a paid lot. It is for residents only so you might get a parking ticket. Not more than $25 if you think it's worth it.

Convenient small grocery store with all the essentials. If you want easy parking, and avoid the huge Market Basket, this is a good option. Located south of here if you are coming home from Beverly or surrounding areas.
