The region of Cape Cod includes the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, as well as the oceanfront areas along the Atlantic. The towns that are part of Cape Cod include Bourne, Provincetown, Sandwich, Truro, Falmouth, Wellfleet, Mashpee, Eastham, Barnstable, Orleans, Yarmouth, Chatham, Harwich, Brewster, and Dennis.

The most heavily populated municipality on Cape Cod is Barnstable, which has more than 45,000 residents. Many of these towns offer a quaint small-town feel that appeals to visitors and residents alike. Dennisport is an appealing neighborhood in the region, having gone through an extensive revitalization in the last few years. This area includes a community library that hosts activities for children of all ages, several art galleries, and cultural events that occur regularly throughout the year.

Brewster and Harwich are neighborhoods located close to several large lakes and ponds on the cape. If you’re looking for water views but have a tighter budget, these areas have homes located on or near the lake. You can take advantage of your proximity to the water as you swim, fish, and boat, while avoiding the large crowds of tourists who come to the oceanfront areas in this region.
