Mashpee, MAInc. 1660
Mashpee is a Cape Cod town with a unique identity rooted in the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, which has maintained a continuous presence here for centuries. The town's modern character has been heavily influenced by New Seabury, a large planned residential community on the Nantucket Sound coastline, and Mashpee Commons, a mixed-use development that functions as the town's commercial center. These planned developments give Mashpee a different feel from the traditional Cape Cod villages.
For property professionals, Mashpee's planned development character means more consistency within developments (New Seabury, Willowbend) but significant variation between them. The Nantucket Sound coastline brings coastal exposure, and the town's recent growth means a housing stock that is generally newer than the rest of the Cape.
