Market Overview
Quincy is a coastal Boston suburb about 10 miles south of downtown Boston, marketed as the City of Presidents and the birthplace of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Tourism centers on American Revolution and presidential heritage, anchored by Adams National Historical Park, plus Boston-area day-trippers and MBTA Red Line commuters. Proximity to Boston, Wollaston Beach, the Blue Hills, and Marina Bay dining draws additional regional leisure visitors. The city’s population is about 103,430.
Short-term rental performance data in this data set is tracked at a submarket level shared across a 6-city Massachusetts cluster spanning Boston-metro and North Shore towns, so the figures below describe the wider Quincy area STR market rather than city-limits-only precision.

Investment Analysis
At the area’s current average daily rate of $299.17, the Quincy area STR market produced $5,536.62 in average monthly revenue per listing in June 2026, or roughly $66,439 annualized. Against Quincy’s own typical home value of $690,382.10 (per Zillow data as of June 30, 2026, a genuinely city-specific figure), that annualized revenue implies a gross rental yield of approximately 9.6% before accounting for mortgage, taxes, insurance, cleaning, and management costs.
This yield estimate carries a severe regulatory caveat unique to Quincy: short-term rentals are strictly owner-occupancy based, with no absentee or off-site operators allowed under any configuration. Allowed formats are home-share (owner-occupied, up to 3 bedrooms and 6 guests), limited-share (operator present, up to 2 bedrooms or 4 guests, with one bedroom reserved for the operator), and owner-adjacent units in owner-occupied two- or three-family dwellings. Short-term rentals are banned outright in the Residence A zoning district. Operators must retain proof of residency, such as utility bills, voter registration, or a deed, and unlike some Massachusetts cities, Quincy’s rules do not appear to include a grace period for existing non-owner-occupied rentals; this is a fully owner-occupied model with no carve-out for absentee investment properties.
ADR tiers show meaningful separation: entire-home listings average $366.99 per night, well above the all-listings figure, professionally managed listings average $337.12, and luxury-tier listings command $588.50, roughly 97% above the all-listings average.

Booking Insights
Guests in the Quincy area book an average of 74.31 days ahead of their stay, and the average length of stay is 4.52 nights. This combination points to planned trips tied to presidential heritage sites, Boston-area events, or extended visits tied to relatives or business travel in the Boston metro area, rather than last-minute regional trips.
For pricing, a booking window approaching 11 weeks gives owners solid visibility into demand across the extended June-through-October peak, allowing early bookings to be priced firmly while later gaps get discounted closer to arrival. The 4.52 night average stay supports a standard multi-night minimum-stay policy. Given how broad this submarket’s peak season is compared to single-spike beach markets, owners can likely maintain firmer pricing across a longer stretch of the year rather than concentrating rate strategy on just one or two months.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Quincy regulates short-term rentals through a mandatory annual registration administered by the Department of Inspectional Services, created by a 2021 city ordinance. Operators must register the unit, declare a classification, limited-share, home-share, or owner-adjacent, and name a local contact able to respond to emergencies when the operator is absent.
The rules are strongly owner-occupancy based: short-term rentals are not allowed where the operator does not live on-site, and operators must retain proof of residency such as utility bills, voter registration, or a deed. Allowed formats are home-share (owner-occupied, up to 3 bedrooms and 6 guests), limited-share (operator present, up to 2 bedrooms or 4 guests, with one bedroom reserved for the operator), and owner-adjacent whole-unit rental in owner-occupied two- or three-family dwellings. Short-term rentals are banned outright in the Residence A zoning district.
Registration fees are $50.00 for limited-share and $200.00 for home-share and owner-adjacent units, renewed annually. The registration number must appear in every listing, and required safety signage must be posted inside the unit. Prospective operators undergo screening by the Department of Inspectional Services with input from the Health and Police Departments; each unit must pass a Fire Department fire-safety inspection within 30 days of registration, and a Health Department inspection before being offered.
On taxes, Massachusetts’s 5.70% state room occupancy excise applies to stays under 32 days; state law also allows Quincy to layer a local room occupancy tax of up to 6% and a community impact fee of up to 3% on top, though the exact local rates in effect were not confirmed in this data set. Enforcement is rated strict, with daily fines of $100 to $200 per violation, and each day of noncompliance treated as a separate violation.
Market Comparison
The Quincy area’s 72.48% occupancy in June 2026 runs well above the roughly 55% median occupancy typically seen across the broader U.S. short-term rental market, and its $299.17 average daily rate is also above the roughly $220 national median ADR. This combination reflects strong, broad-based demand tied to Boston-metro tourism and presidential heritage sites rather than a single concentrated peak.
Top property manager data in this data set is tracked at a shared regional level across a 6-city Massachusetts cluster spanning Boston-metro and North Shore towns rather than uniquely for Quincy, so this profile does not present specific operator names, listing counts, or ratings as Quincy-specific. Quincy’s own regulatory environment is the more consequential local factor: a strict owner-occupancy requirement with no allowance for absentee or off-site operators under any configuration, plus an outright ban in the Residence A zoning district, sharply limits the market for typical investment-style STRs here.
