Home to roughly 16,000 residents, the charming coastal town of Westport, Massachusetts, is a lovely place to buy a home. It is a medium-sized community with five historic “villages,” and an abundance of picturesque natural beauty. Although there are certainly more expensive communities in Massachusetts, Westport housing costs are some of the country’s highest, in no small part because of the many advantages afforded to those who live here. One of those advantages being, Westport is a family-friendly place, rich with history, and exuding a quaint, nautical, New England charm.
Located in Bristol County, the population increases by one-quarter every summer. It is primarily residential but has significant fishing and farming, as well as some delightful shops and restaurants. Beyond those destinations, other points of interest include Westport Point Historic District and Horseneck Beach State Reservation. The Historic District is a lovely area full of beautifully preserved homes, some of which date back to the 1700s, and many that reflect the significant role whaling played in Westport’s history. Horesneck Beach State Reservation is a popular summer recreation destination for residents and visitors and is located north and west of Gooseberry Island.
The five unofficial localities in Westport are known as North Westport, Westport Point, Central Village, Head of Westport, and Westport Harbor, also known as Acoaxet. North Westport is a village in Westport and was formerly known as Westport Factory. Westport Point is found where Main Road runs into the Westport River dock. The businesses, retail stores, and town offices are located in Central Village, and at the head of the east branch of the Westport River is where you’ll find the aptly named "Head of Westport" neighborhood. Westport Harbor is cut off from the rest of Massachusetts by Rhode Island and water. Also known as Acoaxet, Westport Harbor is found between Rhode Island and the west branch of the river. Within these smaller communities, prospective homebuyers will find diverse housing options. Homes for sale in Westport include single-family homes of all shapes and sizes. Singles, couples, families, empty-nesters, and retirees can all find a Westport property to suit their needs and tastes. Because of the diversity of Westport real estate, listing prices fall in a broad range.
