    "there's lots of drugs, mostly heroin. nothing makes it unique. it's just a normal town. nothing to get excited about. nobody really knows each other in my neighborhood. nobody talks to each other. lots of traffic during tourist season...sometimes hours "

    "I have lived here for 30 years in the Canal area and have been boating and fishing here since I was 5 years old with Dad fishing along the Cape Cod Canal. It is a quite town and other quiet towns all around. No big city here, peace and tranquility."
  • Pillowpup99
    "Nice quiet area with LOTS of places within walking distance. Love this place! "
  • Priscilla K.
    "The Massachusetts Maritime Academy is just up the street and the area has no trouble renting their houses for winter rentals when they are not there using it. The train now comes down to Buzzards Bay from Boston, so you don't even need a car. Walk to everything including the 7 mile bike path down the Cape Cod Canal where you can take a walk, go fishing or just park yourself and watch the ships and boats go by. North of the Canal so no bridges to pass. "
