Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum. Well, I am on the hunt for a waterfront home on the south coast. In looking over Swansea, MA; gee, there sure seems to be some good bargains in Ocean Grove. I don't know much about the area, but it appears to have its own beach, and a pretty nice boat ramp / park area. The highway and mall are nearby, so it seems very convenient.

In searching Zillow, I have found what looks like decent, year round seaside or near seaside property well under 300k. There is even an amazing seafront full season cottage up for 249k now... WOW! So, what's the deal with Ocean Grove??? I checked out the crime stats and its darn low for that neighborhood, so I don't understand why homes sell for so much less there... Perhaps an undiscovered gem? Sure seems like it...

Well, thanks for reading and kind regards,

Adam

Ocean Grove is nice, if a bit tight. Depending on your budget, you might consider Seaview Avenue across the bay. It's a little more expensive, but has a very elegant feel with larger lots and well maintained shingled cottages. A few are for sale.
