Secluded coastal homes with New England and modern designs
Indeed, you’ll find that homes are frequently placed back from the road. But this gives Beavertail an established feel, as it’s predominantly single-family homes and absent of rental properties. Despite the relatively secluded nature of the neighborhood, homes still reflect New England coastal customs, like wood shingle siding. These can nevertheless have a contemporary design, such as a streamlined boxiness that speaks to summer cottages of the past. Or there are even more fluid designs that evoke a provincial, country feel. Entry price points reflect the waterfront views and exclusive location, starting around $1-2 million.

Beaches and parks offer many outdoor opportunities
Of course, one of the prime reasons to live here is backyard access to Jamestown’s natural splendor. Mackerel Cove Beach offers calm and shallow waters, making it a top choice for those in search of a safe swim. The area is also visually appealing: vegetation and wildflowers dot the dunes, and the lack of concession stands make the beach feel like a real gem. Fort Getty Park offers over 40 acres to camp on, plus you can busy yourself with the varied features: hiking trails, wildlife observation decks, old fortifications, a rocky beach and views of the Jamestown Bridge. Heading further south you’ll encounter the 22-acre Battery Park, which is equally rich in views and steeped in Revolutionary-era history. At land’s end is Beavertail State Park, complete with an iconic lighthouse. This is a tourist attraction known for its superlative views, but it’s also popular with fishers and those interested in observing wildlife.
Beavertail homes feature stone fencing and custom gates with lighting accents.
