Contemporary Colonial-Revivals along Westport River
Booth/Handy Four Corners offers homes on winding, forested streets and properties on spacious lots overlooking the river. Most homes feature Cape Cod or colonial styles, but the area maintains a suburban feel with curving streets and neatly landscaped lawns. Cape Cods, built in the 1960s, cost around $600,000. Contemporary colonial-style homes built within the last 20 years are priced between $600,000 and $700,000, but with riverfront views, prices rise to $1.5 million. Occasionally, true colonial homes built in 1776 go on the market; a property with 20 acres costs as much as $2 million.

History and nature meet at Westport Town Farm
“The community enjoys being outside, and there are parks and water features for activities in every direction,” Lori Medeiros, a Realtor with Home and Key Real Estate who has served the area for five years. Nature and relics of the area’s farming history can be spotted at Westport Town Farm, where residents can walk a one-mile loop through farmland and enjoy views of the Westport River. The East Branch of the Westport River flows along the eastern edge of the neighborhood so that residents can go fishing and boating. Those searching for more historical knowledge can go to The Handy House, a clapboard Georgian home built around 1710, for tours. Residents can walk the Handy House Heritage Trail, which explores the forest from the Wampanoag tribe and European perspectives.

Hands-on learning at Westport Middle and High
Kids may begin school at Alice A. Macomber Primary, which serves students in prekindergarten and kindergarten. Westport Elementary serves students from first grade through fourth grade. Students advance to Westport Middle and Westport High, which are in the same building, so students attend school in the same location from fifth grade to 12th grade. The campus underwent a $97 million renovation project in 2021 and now features a makerspace for hands-on learning projects and new athletic fields. All four schools earn B-minus ratings from Niche.

Craft and learn at the Handy House
Residents can learn about the neighborhood’s history by attending events at the historic Handy House. The Handy House Artisan Fair and Vintage Market showcases local artisans specializing in crafts from the 18th and 19th centuries, like woodworking and blacksmithing. Kids can learn through crafts and story walks on the Handy House Heritage Trail or put on costumes to meet the Handy House “witches” with the historical society on Halloween. The town of Westport hosts seasonal community events, like a Christmas parade and holiday market. The Westport Free Public Library hosts children’s story hours and book clubs.State highways connect to nearby cities
There is no public transportation and minimal sidewalks, so residents depend on personal vehicles. Route 88 carves north-south through the neighborhood and quickly connects to Interstate 95. Fall River is located 11 miles northwest and has many city amenities and retail destinations. There are more shopping and attractions in Dartmouth, which is 10 miles east and New Bedford, which is 17 miles northeast of Booth/Handy Four Corners.Seasonal lattes and breakfast sandwiches at Wild Honey
Main Road bisects the neighborhood and houses local eateries. For breakfast, residents can stop by Wild Honey Café, which serves flavored lattes, bagels and pastries. There’s also Bootleg BBQ, which is a true roadside diner serving up brisket sandwiches and pulled pork. Lees Market is conveniently located on Main Road as well; this local supermarket stocks groceries and household essentials. “If people want to shop at a traditional mall, they’ll go to Dartmouth. There are small, locally owned businesses in the area as well,” Medeiros says.
