Though small in size, having a land mass of only 7,838 square
miles, Massachusetts is expansive in its scope of spectacular features and houses.
Along with its gorgeous beaches, residents enjoy phenomenal natural beauty,
plentiful outdoor recreation, a rich heritage, magnificent architecture, mouthwatering
seafood, numerous cultural activities and an exceptional housing market.
From
the 30 miles of rocky northern coastline, to the quaint island of Nantucket,
to the steel skyscrapers of Boston, Massachusetts is diverse in surroundings
and is home to more than six million people. As a highly cultured and sophisticated
early settlement, Massachusetts also makes a good study of historical colonialism,
maritime activity and modern urban development. Amidst the scenic natural beauty
of the Berkshire Mountains or the bustle of Atlantic Ocean harbors, cities such
as Salem and the world-famous Boston, Massachusetts, offer a rich historical
perspective from colonial times, excellence in education, affordable housing,
a multitude of job opportunities and an exceptionally high quality of life.
The Massachusetts real estate market is diverse and offers
a wide selection of affordable houses. Choices abound in the distinctive architectural
style of gable-roofed houses on the Cape Cod peninsula, the 18th- and 19th-century
style retreats of fishermen, merchants and artisans in Marblehead, one of the
East Coast’s premier sailing centers, or modern single-family houses and estates
on tree-lined cul-de-sacs in Boston and other modern cities. Historical and
period properties, such as Samuel Elder’s Carriage House (1904) in Winchester,
are also available.
