Quiet residential neighborhood near downtown New Bedford
Acushnet-Pine Hill is a quiet residential neighborhood that offers quick access to downtown New Bedford and the quiet South Coast of Massachusetts. “It’s a good area, and there’s lots to do,” Denise Plaskon, librarian at Lawler Library and longtime resident, says. “There’s a feeling of family and friendship. I know my neighbors by name, and I would never hesitate to ask them for help. Once, I was out shoveling snow and my neighbors came over to help me with it.”
Well-kept Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals
Most residential streets here are laid out on a grid, with homes on small lots behind narrow sidewalks. Houses feature simplistic details and traditional styles like Cape Cod and Colonial Revival. “They’re modest homes, by and large, but they’re well maintained,” Plaskon says. Three-bedroom houses most commonly range from the low- to mid- $400,000s.
