East Taunton Townhome for Sale

East Taunton features a mix of historical and modern homes, with Colonial-style houses dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, alongside ranch and raised ranch homes from the early 2000s. Cape Cod-style homes are also prevalent. The neighborhood offers generous lot sizes with houses spaced further apart compared to other areas in Taunton. While new construction is limited, subdivisions around 20 years old are common. East Taunton is adjacent to Massasoit State Park, which spans over 1,200 acres and includes six lakes and ponds, offering activities like hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. The park’s Lake Rico is popular for non-motorized boating. Barstow’s Pond, part of the Cotley River, provides a habitat for native species. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, contributing to its appeal. Although East Taunton lacks its own commuter rail access, the upcoming south coast rail project will connect it to Boston by spring 2025. The Greater Attleboro and Taunton Regional Transit Authority provides bus services throughout the area. Local attractions include the Star Drive-In, which offers outdoor film screenings and a seafood market, and eateries like Tomato & Basil and Kev’s Ice Cream. For shopping, Taunton Depot features department stores and restaurant chains.
