Introduction
We're being called the "New Cape" here in Massachusetts'
South Coast region. This kind of label make us chuckle, to
be truthful. We've long enjoyed not being part of the hustle
and bustle and commercial summer influx that can make small
town coastal living undesirable. And rest assured - we're
very protective of our towns so you can be sure our small
town character will not change even though more people are
getting to know the area. But it is flattering to be
considered one of the hottest regions to be living in the
state.
Lately, all kinds of attention is being paid to the South
Coast - and for good reason. Whether it's our excellent
school systems, pristine beaches in Mattapoisett and Marion,
fertile vineyards in Westport, picturesque farm land in
Rochester, village shopping districts, growing art scene in
New Bedford, or all of the things that make living in this
area special - the South Coast has never been as desirable a
market to be living as it is today.
Many people who live in the towns that comprise the South
Coast are professionals who commute to locales like Cape
Cod, Boston or Providence and find returning home every
evening well worth the drive. Our small towns are ideal for
raising families, buying a second home or empty nesters.
You'll find the area's residents diverse, welcoming and
inclusive. We also have amazing communities of self-employed
artisans who are selling their wears: making cheeses, firing
pottery, building boats, opening restaurants and fixing up
old houses among dozens of other enviable pursuits. The
South Coast has always been home to interesting characters.
Check out some of the histories of our towns in other parts
of our web site.
An exciting development will be the extension of the MBTA's
commuter rail into New Bedford sometime in the next few
years - making the Boston commute as easy as a train ride.
This kind of accessibility will only have positive effects
on the housing market and quality of life.
The South Coast has seen the most significant gains in real
estate appreciation than any other area of the state over
the last five years. While we don't own a crystal ball, we
knock on wood as we write this and hope that the future
delivers as equally prosperous times. Regardless, real
estate investment as it relates to space, character and
quality of life, in our opinion, cannot be found, dollar for
dollar, as it can in our special region.
Thank you for taking the time to look around our web site
and our towns. If you have any questions about the local
market, please do not hesitate to email or call us. We love
to talk about Massachusetts' South Coast. |
