A laid-back lifestyle in coastal Massachusetts
Hugging the shores of Apponagansett Bay, the Redgate Corner/South Dartmouth neighborhood is, first and foremost, a community that is historically tied to the water. The time-worn waterfront of New Bedford is less than 4 miles away. And while life here may be moored to its long history, residents also continue to move and adapt to changing tides and coming waves. “Part of South Dartmouth used to be an old seaport, so a lot of the culture is geared around the water, like the New Bedford Yacht Club,” says Ellie Wickes, a Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty in Westport.

Out and about at Jones Beach
The west side of the neighborhood, which abuts Apponagansett Bay, is a well-known hotspot for fishing and sailing, and uninhabited Little Island off the western coast is a favorite of local hikers and nature lovers, though getting there does require a boat. For those who want to just relax on the sand, Jones Beach is a neighborhood favorite. Situated on the east side of the South Dartmouth peninsula, Jones Beach is about a mile from the neighborhood. Offering visitors access to a playground, horseshoe pit and picnic tables, the adjacent Jones Beach Park turns a trip to the beach into an all-encompassing day outside. Inside the neighborhood, Dartmouth Community Park features picnic tables, a playground and plenty of open space for play or relaxation.

Seafood is on the menu in South Dartmouth
On the neighborhood’s southern edge is the waterfront Farm & Coast Market, which bills itself as “a homey kitchen, family room and clubhouse – all rolled into one.” A popular local hangout, Farm & Coast Market serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in their café, with a menu featuring fresh local seafood, salads, sandwiches and pizza. Diners will also find an extensive smoothie bar, a market with a butcher shop, prepared food, beer and wine, and fresh-baked bread. For those looking to get out on the water, they can even book a cabin cruiser through No Contingencies Charter Services. Across the street from Farm & Coast Market is another local favorite, Black Bass Grille. Specializing in locally sourced seafood and ingredients, a meal at “The Bass” comes complete with a spectacular view of the bay. Despite all the other amenities that Redgate Corner/South Dartmouth affords its residents, the neighborhood is not what would be called a shopper’s paradise. When residents need groceries, home necessities or other retail needs, they do have to drive to Dartmouth Mall, approximately 5 miles to the north. The mall includes stores like Kohl’s, Best Buy and Home Depot, and both Target and Shaw’s are nearby for home necessities and groceries. Additionally, the shops and other amenities of New Bedford are less than 5 miles away.

St. Mary's hosts the Dartmouth Farmers Market
Owing in part to the abundance of area residents of Portuguese descent, there is a well-established Catholic population in the neighborhood, and St. Mary’s Catholic Church is both a place of worship and a community gathering spot. In the shade of the tall white steeple, the Dartmouth Farmers Market is open to everyone on Fridays, noon – 5:00 p.m., from early June until late October. That market features locally grown produce, meats and flowers, and supplements those offerings every first Friday of the month with the addition of an Arts & Crafts Market that showcases the works of local artisans, soap makers and more.
