Lakeville, MAInc. 1717
Lakeville is a semi-rural town in the interior of Plymouth County, defined by its numerous ponds — including Assawompset Pond, the largest natural lake in Massachusetts, which serves as part of New Bedford's water supply. The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes on larger lots, with cranberry bogs and conservation land interspersed throughout the town.
For property professionals, Lakeville's pond-centric geography creates waterfront properties and environmental constraints, while the rural character means private wells, septic systems, and the fire protection considerations that come with low-density development. Assessed values are moderate, reflecting the town's distance from major employment centers.
