Buzzards Bay, MA

Nestled along the Buttermilk and Buzzard’s Bay, this namesake community is surrounded by water, offering residents dazzling views year-round and plenty of watersports like fishing and paddling as well as other outdoor recreation opportunities. Filled with farms, trails, and wooded neighborhoods, Buzzard’s Bay is truly a rural escape. This pastoral locale is great for renters of ages with affordable rentals ranging from quaint homes to charming apartments. Located on the opposite side of Cape Cod, Buzzard’s Bay feels laid-back like the neighboring region, but without all of the constant crowds of tourists in the summer. Maintaining a small-town vibe, the majority of restaurants, stores, and other locally owned businesses are located along Main Street. There is also a community center and a small amusement center with an arcade and bowling alley. If you’re looking for the Cape Cod-like experience but more low-key, Buzzard’s Bay is a great choice.
