Growing up on the water never leaves you. As a Millennial who grew up in Cohasset and
now lives in Duxbury, returning to the ocean had always been my goal. I had bought a house on the Mainline of
Philadelphia and as nice as that was, I missed the ocean.
Now as we approach or are already in our 30s, leaving the
downtown lifestyle becomes more appealing. We are close to paying off our
student loans and are earning enough money to afford a down payment. Yet some
of us might not have made the final leap in investing in your future. The world
is telling us it’s a sellers’ market, but conditions are favorable for buyers
as well. For example, interest rates remain low and there are homes in the
South Shore that appeal to all price ranges $300k and up.
Don’t delay your dream of getting back to the water.
Here are a few things to check off before you start the
process:
- How far south do you want to go?
- How close do you need to be to the highway?
- What updates are must-haves in your ideal house?
More importantly, understand what is available in your price
range. Below check out the number of active listings by community on the South
Shore that are priced at $300-500k.

As of August 2, 2017
Depending on what you are looking for, $500k will buy you 1600
square feet in Cohasset, 2200 square feet in Scituate and in Duxbury. In any of
these communities you are unlikely to be more than 3 miles from any of the
coastal towns and the Route 3 towns are within 8-10 miles.
