Mattapoisett, MAInc. 1750
Mattapoisett is a small coastal town on Buzzards Bay between Marion and Fairhaven, with a picturesque harbor village and a housing stock that ranges from historic sea captains' homes to modern waterfront properties. The town's maritime heritage — it was a significant shipbuilding center in the 19th century — is still visible in the architecture of the village center.
For property professionals, Mattapoisett is a moderate-to-high-value coastal market where harbor proximity and bay views drive premiums. The coastline brings flood zone exposure and storm risk, but the relatively protected position inside Buzzards Bay reduces the direct ocean exposure faced by communities on the outer coast.
