Charming Cape Cods and multifamily dwellings
Single-family homes are generally from the early 20th century. "We have all different types of homes," Woods says. "The majority are older Capes that have been renovated, but we have some new construction." Most homes are clustered close together along narrow streets lined with sidewalks and parked cars; typical features include front porches, short driveways and horizontal siding — wood or vinyl — often shaded in muted pastels like powder blue, seafoam and buttercream. Prices for these homes generally range from $500,000 to $900,000, depending on a home's size and renovation needs. The median home price here is $725,000, compared to $825,000 in Boston. "Our prices are high, but Boston is more expensive," Woods says.
Most residents here are renters, though, which creates opportunities for property investors. Multifamily homes, including duplexes, townhomes and condo or apartment buildings, are common and range from $400,000 to $1 million, depending on the number of units.
Gloucester Gloucester Crossing features traditional small Cape Cod style homes, adding classic charm to the neighborhood’s residential landscape.
