Harrubs Corner
Suburban Neighborhood in Halifax, Massachusetts
Plymouth County 02338, 02367
Cape Cods and ranch styles on large plots of land
Potential homebuyers can find everything here, from cozy bungalows and Cape Cods to a variety of ranch-style homes, Saltbox houses and colonial-style properties. Most homes in Harrub’s Corner sit on larger plots of land that blend in seamlessly with the natural greenery and give homeowners room to breathe. Single-family homes tend to range between $350,000 and $600,000, while units at the Halifax Mobile Home Estates – a 55-plus community – often cost less than $200,000. There are also a handful of townhouses here that have sold in the $300,000s. Though Walo cautions, a property’s list price doesn’t always equal its final sale price. Because Halifax and Plymouth are both so small, housing is limited in this area, and it’s not unheard of for a property to fetch $30,000 to $40,000 over its original asking price.Horseback riding and days by the lake
Harrub’s Corner is home to three lakes – East and West Lakes on State Route 58 and Silver Lake on the aptly named Lake Street – that are a hub of activity during the summer. These lakes are so popular, Walo says, that the Twin Lakes residential community offers its residents an outdoor rack to store their kayaks. There are also several horse stables in the neighborhood, including the Hudson Derby Stables, which hosts equestrian events at the adjacent Fieldstone Show Park. “There are more horses than people in Plympton,” Walo says. For hiking trails, outdoor enthusiasts can head to Cato’s Ridge Preserve, which spans over 100 acres and also includes Churchill Park and O’Neil Marsh. The 70-acre Peterson Swamp Wildlife Management Area offers opportunities for hunting and birdwatching. Golfers head to the Country Club of Halifax to practice their swing on an 18-hole championship course designed by Phil Wogan – although the club is mostly membership-based, they do offer some public tee times.Students served by Silver Lake Regional School District
Students here are zoned for the Silver Lake Regional School District, which receives an overall A-minus rating from Niche and was ranked by Niche in 2024 as the seventh-best school district in Plymouth County. Young learners who live closer to the Plympton portion of Harrub’s Corner can attend Dennett Elementary School, while those who live closer to Halifax can attend Halifax Elementary School. Both elementary schools are rated B-plus and serve grades one through six. Students in seventh and eighth grade can attend the B-rated Silver Lake Regional Middle School, which was named in the top ten best public middle schools in Plymouth County by Niche in 2024. Silver Lake Regional High School is a B-plus-rated institution that offers a Career and Technical Education department and Advanced Placement programs. “That’s a really nice high school,” Walo says.Walmart Supercenter and local dining in Halifax
For quick convenience, Lindy’s General Store is located right along Holmes Street and offers basic groceries, medicine and alcoholic beverages. At the intersection of Route 58 and Route 106 in Halifax, locals can find a Stop & Shop grocery store and Walmart Supercenter. “Halifax has a Walmart, and not every place has a Walmart,” Walo says. “That place has everything you need.” There are also a handful of restaurants around this intersection, including Happy Dragon, a Chinese eatery; Cape Cod Café, a local pizzeria chain; and Grille 58, a family-friendly establishment serving classic American food and pub grub.
