Barnstable, the Cape's
largest town, has the widest variety of real estate. Each of the town's
eight villages has a different flavor and real estate that fits that flavor.
Barnstable also has several fire districts, and local taxes include a
fire district charge.
The historic and
rural northside compares well with many outer Cape areas for buyers
who want to be close to nature while still being close to getting off-Cape.
Centerville, located on the south side, is primarily residential has
a beautiful beach. Osterville also on the south side is primarily residential
and includes inlets and harbors for fishing and boating. Hyannis is
the town's central business and commercial district, and includes town
offices and several shopping malls. Hyannis is also a fishing village,
and its harbor provides steamship access to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
Islands. Marstons Mills, located on Route 28, is primarily residential.
Cotuit, a village located on a peninsula on the south side, is primarily
residential and has several small beaches. West Barnstable on the north
side is primarily residential and sparsely populated. Barnstable also
on the north side houses the County Complex and has a working harbor
and several small beaches. (Narrative in part courtesy of the Massachusetts
