Real estate in Hull, Massachusetts

Hull is a small town in the South Shore of Massachusetts. According to the 2010 census, 10,293 people reside there. The median income as of 2016 was 82,600. The town is located on a series of islands connected by sandbars and embankments. These islands comprise the Nantasket peninsula. The beach here is considered to be among the best in New England. Hull Gut, located at the tip of the peninsula, is the location of the windmill, the local high school, and the ferry. The main road in and out of the peninsula is Nantasket Avenue, which runs down the middle of the peninsula. The ocean beach lies to the west and the bay shore is to the east. Neighborhood streets run perpendicular towards the shorelines. Boston proper can be seen directly across the channel.

The Nantasket peninsula is a great place to live. The geography of the town makes it very unique. Hull is a narrow peninsula, with a width of maybe six blocks at its widest point. Formerly the home of a famous amusement park that closed in the 1980s, it remains a fascinating place to live. Ocean views from nearly any window, certainly from a second floor window, will be a wonderful part of your every day. Many if not most homes will be within walking distance to the beach or the bay. Incredibly, the cost to live so close to the ocean is much less than you might think. Median home values on the peninsula are less than 400,000 for a 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home.

Townhouses and condominiums are also available. A townhouse is a single family dwelling. Townhouses contain at least two floors. They share a wall with another house. A townhouse is privately owned by an individual or company. Row houses are not the same as townhouses. They are arranged in a row while townhouses are configured differently. A condominium is a building or community of buildings in which the interior of the units are owned by individuals. Since there is no landlord, the ownership and care of the exterior and grounds, including building and grounds maintenance are taken care of by the home owners association, or HOA. Condominiums frequently have a community focus and offer amenities such as pools, clubhouses and golf courses. Typical HOA fees are higher for condos, as townhouse owners pay for more of their own upkeep.
