The only knock on the place is that it doesn’t have a high walk score waterfront village. You basically have whatever the Mattapoisett Inn is called now…. The Inn on Shipyard Park. And a not very functional general store. Shopping means a drive to Wareham, Fairhaven, or the Market Basket in New Bedford.

As a boat owner, it’s not a very protected harbor. For sailing, Cuttyhunk is dead upwind and part of Buzzards Bay is really choppy in the afternoon.

If I had kids in public schools, it would be my first choice on the South Coast.
