Hull, MAInc. 1622
Hull is a narrow peninsula town extending into Boston Harbor, with a geography that makes it one of the most exposed coastal communities in Massachusetts. The town is essentially a sandbar — a narrow strip of land connecting the mainland to the harbor islands — and nearly every property faces some degree of coastal risk. Nantasket Beach, the town's most recognizable feature, has been a resort destination since the 19th century.
For property professionals, Hull is concentrated coastal risk: flood zones, storm surge, erosion, and wind exposure affect the vast majority of properties. The dense, older housing stock — much of it built during the resort era — adds building age and condition variables to the coastal risk profile. Insurance, lending, and appraisal work in Hull requires parcel-level precision on flood zone, elevation, and ocean proximity because the variation between even adjacent properties can be significant.
