Cohasset is a picturesque New England harbor town
Quaint and coastal Cohasset is a rocky, harbor town with hot, humid summers that's known for turning tourists into locals and neighbors into friends. Considered more a village than a town, Cohasset’s charm lies in its proximity to the coast and its picturesque New England appearance. “It’s the first ocean town from Boston,” says Realtor Christine Powers with Coldwell Banker Realty. “It looks like a Norman Rockwell painting with some of the most amazing scenic roads on the ocean.”
Cohasset neighborhoods feature tree-lined streets and classic New England architecture.

Colonials, new construction and homes overlooking Massachusetts Bay
A large portion of Cohasset is water, so it's common to stumble upon incredible properties overlooking Massachusetts Bay. Some of these pieces of paradise include 1950s Cape Cods on several acres just moments from the harbor and stunning shingle-style homes on the point that are going for about $3.9 million. You will also find stately colonials surrounded by stone walls on Lamberts Lane, new construction Dutch colonials on Diab Lane and two-family bungalow cottages from the 1760s listed for $650,000.

Recreation that revolves around coastal life
The Cohasset Yacht Club sees a lot of action during the warmer months, but you don’t have to own a boat to enjoy the coastal life. The town’s Sandy Beach, along its rugged coastline, is another lively place on summer evenings. “Families hang out here until the sun drops,” Powers says.
