Patch Real Estate Roundup: Home Markets In MA's Oldest Communities

MASSACHUSETTS — For people in Massachusetts, the month of November always carries a little additional significance.

Though the pilgrims first landed at Plymouth Rock in December of 1620, it's largely believed that the Thanksgiving holiday is modeled after a 1621 harvest feast shared by the pilgrims who landed in Plymouth and the native Wampanoag people.

During the month of November, Patch's real estate listing will feature a look into some of Massachusetts' oldest communities.

According to a 2019 MassLive report, Hull and Duxbury were first settled in 1624.

All these years later, what has the housing market developed into in these two communities?

A hidden gem in Duxbury serves as a "blank canvas waiting for your creative touch."

Listed for $600,000, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home may need some work, but the bones are there. And the location? Hard to beat.
