A quiet enclave near New Bedford and Dartmouth
Coury Heights presents its residents with the opportunity to live in New England cottages on peaceful streets while remaining less than 5 miles away from the bustling port city of New Bedford. “It’s a quiet neighborhood, but not at all out of the way,” says Lori Medeiros, a Realtor with Home and Key Real Estate who has served the area for 5 years. “People are close to shopping in Dartmouth and near the restaurants, hospitals and events in New Bedford. And nature is all around. People love to participate in water activities, like fishing, boating and swimming,” Medeiros says.
Cottages and Colonial Revivals on residential roads
Situated north of New Bedford, the neighborhood’s homes sit on narrow streets arranged in a linear pattern. Some homes do not include driveways, so street parking is common. The roads do not have sidewalks, but many homes feature shaded, green front yards decorated with flowering shrubbery and backyards encircled by low picket fences. A range of architectural styles is represented in Coury Heights, including New England cottages, Colonial Revivals, ranches and two-family American Foursquares. Primarily built in the 1960s and 70s, homes start at $280,000 for a ranch and go up to $450,000 for a Colonial Revival or Foursquare.
