Nantucket, MA Apartments for Rent
Welcome to Nantucket, a historic island destination off the coast of Massachusetts known for its cobblestone streets and preserved whaling-era architecture. Located 30 miles south of Cape Cod, this island community of approximately 8,700 year-round residents features pristine beaches and a rich maritime heritage. Housing options include classic New England-style homes, from cottages to waterfront properties, though seasonal demand affects availability. Notable areas include Madaket, with its stunning sunsets; Siasconset ('Sconset), featuring rose-covered cottages; and Brant Point, home to the iconic lighthouse.
Life on Nantucket centers around its natural landscapes and historic downtown district. The island maintains strict preservation guidelines to protect its architectural heritage, while offering modern amenities throughout its commercial areas. Massachusetts currently shows an average one-bedroom rent of $2,519 with a 2.4% year-over-year increase, though Nantucket's rental market reflects its island location and seasonal patterns. The community calendar features several signature events, including the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival in May and the Christmas Stroll in December, both drawing visitors from across the region to celebrate the island's culture and traditions.
