Have lived in NB all my life, have had several relatives living in Mattapoisett. It’s a nice little town with its share of bureaucracy. There are families that have been there for generations but there is also a lot of new blood as of late and unfortunately an uptick in seasonal homes.

Generally it’s peaceful, has a decent town beach and is close enough to Fairhaven for shopping needs and Downtown NB for culture and nightlife. Good luck!
