Coastal living on a small peninsula
The town of Hull, a small peninsula 22 miles from downtown Boston, offers all the attractions and amenities of a beach town. The community is home to around 10,000 people, with an increasing number of year-round residents compared to the area’s past as a more seasonal community. Residents frequently commute to Boston for work in industries such as healthcare and educational services. In town, countless local chains and family-owned stores are a short walk from bungalows and waterfront homes. “It’s not just the beach; there are so many beautiful areas and things to love about the town,” says Andrea Cohen, a senior sales associate with Charisma Realty who has been a Hull resident for almost 40 years. “There’s so much around that you don’t really have to ever leave town.”

Sunset and sunrise views from the waterfront
One of the biggest draws to the community is the beach access, with Nantasket Beach being a prominent spot. Along its 6.5 miles of sandy beaches, residents can find surfing opportunities and plenty of spots to relax and watch the sunrise reflect off the tidepools. “You get tons of great views, from sunrises on the ocean side of the peninsula to sunsets on the bay side,” Cohen says. The nearby Paragon Boardwalk, open seasonally, has an arcade, mini golf course, historic carousel and numerous food and drink vendors. Residents can also visit local green spaces, such as historic Fort Revere Park and the sports fields at L Street Field. History buffs may appreciate the Hull Lifesaving Museum which keeps the town's maritime history alive while also hosting programs for all ages.

Hull's eclectic coastal housing
As of January 2025, the median housing price in Hull was around $600,000, which is just a little higher than the national median price at that time. Condos and multiunit properties make up a portion of the housing market around the Beachfront and Whitehead communities. Neighborhoods like Waveland and The Alphabets have more single-family properties, such as modest Cape Cods, bungalows and larger New Englander-style properties along the beaches. “The housing in Hull is very eclectic, with smaller bungalows placed right next to larger waterfront properties,” Cohen says.
Beachfront homes stand shoulder to shoulder in the Whitehead neighborhood.

Local dining options along the peninsula
Hull's downtown area is home to a vast number of dining and shopping options. TOAST is known for its breakfast dishes, while Shipwreck’d at the Nauti Dog serves classic seafood. There are also numerous places to stop by in the evening for a drink or a sweet treat. Daddy's Beach Club hosts weekly live music and karaoke, and Scoops Ice Cream Co. serves homemade sundaes. Residents can grocery shop at Village Market, a store that Cohen says has items that the big-box stores don't have.

Commuter ferries and trains to Boston
Hull residents have access to a commuter ferry that departs from the north end of town. It takes passengers to downtown Boston or Logan International Airport, which would otherwise be a 27-mile drive via Chief Justice Cushing Highway and Interstate 93. Residents also have the Nantasket Junction and Cohasset commuter rail stations just a short drive away. There are several pedestrian pathways around town, and the bay side of the community has paths that snake between local backyards and offer waterfront views. "Overall, it's really easy to get from place to place," Cohen says. South Shore Hospital is 14 miles from the community.

Year round events in Hull
One of the more popular festivals in Hull is the Endless Summer event in early September. Starting as a final push by the Chamber of Commerce before the end of summer, it has become the largest party in Nantasket Beach, with vendors, food and live music. Porch Fest is another well-known event in the Boston area, where bands set up on porches throughout the community as residents take in the sounds and dance with friends. The Hull Public Library hosts weekly reading groups for adults and summer reading programs for students.

Students may begin at Jacobs Elementary School before heading to Memorial Middle School and then Hull High School. Schools receive a B, B-minus and B-plus rating, respectively. The high school is especially well-known for its waterfront views and small class sizes, comparable to those offered at a private institution.
