    "Lovely neighborhood! Friendly people, gorgeous homes. Some complaints, coyote problems, especially in the summer. Other wild animals such as foxes, coy-wolves and fishercats roam the streets."
  • Caron
    "It is a picturesque seaside town. You are able to walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. It is very family friendly. "
  • Barb M.
    "I loved it here and will forever be sorry I left. The only problem were the schools, the kids grow up and leave, there is nothing here for them. Parking is horrible the town makes their money off parking tickets which has effectively stifled down town sales growth. not much night life except for the new music venue on Main Street, they have notable talent, worthy of a trip in from Boston and surrounding areas.
