Neighborhoods & Areas

Nantucket may be just 14 miles long and 3.5 miles wide, but this small island packs remarkable diversity into its geography. Each neighborhood has developed its own distinct personality over centuries of island life. Downtown buzzes with shops and restaurants within walking distance of the ferry. Sconset feels like stepping into a storybook with its rose-covered cottages. Madaket offers the island's most spectacular sunsets. Understanding these differences is essential to choosing where to stay and how to spend your time. After years of showing properties across this island, I can tell you that the right neighborhood match makes all the difference in your Nantucket experience.
