With its rugged seaside atmosphere and close distance to major recreational areas such as Martha’s Vineyard, the typical townhouse in this area has a shaker-style exterior, and usually is two to three stories in height. The front entryway is reached via a set of stairs that opens up into an ample front porch, which is perfect for enjoying the outdoors during the seasonal months and can double as a festive display space in the winter. Each unit tends to have its own yard, which is often fenced and has a series of trees or hedges lining the perimeter. An exterior deck is common, although some homes favor a concrete slab which extends far enough into the yard to provide enough room to host a festive outdoor gathering, but not so far that it does not allow for natural grasses or a garden to grow. The kitchen in these units is often located near the rear of the unit, providing a view of the yard from over the sink. Brand new appliances are typical, with stainless steel refrigerators and elegant new stoves. The countertops are sometimes granite, but also can be a mixture of tile and ceramics, creating elegant patterns that are both welcoming and visually pleasing.

The bathrooms are often equipped both with a full size shower stall and a stand alone bathtub. The bathtub is often positioned in the corner of the bathroom under a window, creating a place to unwind and enjoy a long soak after a hard day. The living rooms in these homes often have wood paneling and built-in cabinets, creating a cozy yet visually rich interior. The flooring is often carpeted, but hardwood floors are also frequently employed. Exposed brick, especially near the fireplace in the living room, is common. A small array of cabinets beneath the windows provide not only storage, but a place to pause and look out over the yard. The bedrooms are compact but elegantly designed, allowing for a bed and a few pieces of furniture, such as a dresser or a desk or a chair.

Other units make the most of their upper storeys by creating inventive loft or attic spaces. Frequently, these spaces offer gorgeously finished rooms with innovatively shaped windows that make the most of the sloping shape of the roof. They often add skylights to amplify the amount of natural light in the space. Depending on how large the upper floor is, several pieces of furniture may be arrayed from side to side, or it may only be large enough for a single bed or desk. In any case, these creatively designed spaces offer beautiful views and an opportunity to enjoy the sight of the Bay.

Geographic Location

Located on Buzzards Bay, this coastal city is bounded by the towns of Acushnet to the east, Dartmouth to the west, and Freetown to the north. The southern boundary is mainly coastline, while the eastern boundary is partly made up of the Acushnet River. Accessible via automobile by Route 140, Route 18, Route 6 and Interstate 195, this area can also be reached by ferry during the seasonal months. There is also a regional air strip known as the New Bedford Regional Airport which primarily caters to chartered flights and small aircraft. Currently, the area has no MBTA Commuter Rail line, although a plan to extend the Middleborough/Lakeville line to the city is currently underway. In addition to the active port along the coastline, the area has numerous publicly accessible green spaces and recreation areas, including Fort Rodman Park, Brooklawn Park, Buttonwood Park, and Hazelwood Park, as well as a Harbor Walk.
