Massachusetts Real Estate

With a median home value of $185,700, many consider Massachusetts a great state to live in. Whether you prefer to live in the suburban areas of Western Massachusetts, downtown Boston, or the beach community of Cape Cod, Massachusetts has something for everyone.

Cape Cod and nearby Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket offer the beauty and tranquility of Massachusetts' beach towns. Cape Cod is a favorite vacation destination offering the most pristine beaches and unspoiled landscape, but not without a hefty price tag. The desirability of this area has pushed the median price of a home in Cape Cod to $577,500. Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are located off the coast of Massachusetts, and can be reached only by ferry. Martha's Vineyard is a popular tourist destination and the economy relies heavily on tourist revenue. Nantucket is much more isolated than Martha's Vineyard and offers smaller, quieter residential areas.

Boston, Massachusetts, recently ranked on the top ten list of favorite cities in the U.S. Boston is a popular tourist destination due to the nostalgia and historical sites and landmarks around the city. Boston boasts one of the best public transportation systems in the country, making it convenient to travel to and from the city for work or pleasure. With no space for expansion, Boston does not have an abundance of new development in the downtown area, however, Victorians, brownstones, triple-deckers, and condos are common around the city.
