Despite being just a few hours drive from midtown Manhattan, Cape Cod offers residents and guests a uniquely New England experience, steeped in Yankee tradition and history. Boasting over 400 miles of coastline, Cape Cod is dotted with numerous postcard-perfect towns. One of them, Provincetown, has cultivated an international reputation for fun in the sun. Interested buyers can experience life on the beach for a bargain, thanks to a waterfront condo at 501 Commercial Street in town. Steps from the beach, the house is the ultimate summer bungalow. Looking to set anchor in one of the East Coast's oldest fishing communities? 117 Summerhill Lane in Chatham offers traditional charm and year round livability for those who like to live life a little off shore.

For boating enthusiasts, 4255 Gordon Dr. offers serene views of the protected Cutlass Cove, and deep water docking for vessels of all sizes.
