Cape Cods are also common, along with the occasional bungalow or ranch-style also contributing to the old-school vibe. The area’s walkable historic district also consists of a number of larger antique properties that have been converted into condominiums, among other residential and commercial uses. Prices for a single-family, 3-bedroom home range from $515,000 for a Cape Cod to $1.3 million for an antique Colonial. Larger waterfront homes can go for excess of $2.5 million.
