Berkley, MAInc. 1638
Berkley is a small, rural town in the interior of Bristol County, with a housing stock that is predominantly single-family homes on larger lots. The town has limited commercial activity and a quiet, agricultural character that distinguishes it from the more developed communities along the I-195 corridor. The Taunton River forms part of the town's boundary, bringing conservation areas and some flood zone exposure.
For property professionals, Berkley is one of the more affordable and rural markets in Bristol County — single-family dominant, moderate assessed values, and the kind of dispersed development that means private wells, septic systems, and longer fire response times in some areas.
