Homes for Sale

Cohasset, on the South Shore,  is a lovely residential town  with colonial homes and beautiful ocean views. The town Green, with its historic white churches, epitomize a New England scene.  The First Parish Meeting House and St. Stephen's Church, with its 56 bell carillon,  has offered Sunday concerts since 1924. The town has often been used as a movie set because of its beauty and quaintness. Despite this rich history, Cohasset is very much part of the Boston landscape.   Located on Massachusetts Bay, Cohasset is bordered by Hingham on the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the north, and Scituate on the south and east. Cohasset is about 20 miles southeast of Boston, and is predominantly residential.  Many of its residents commute daily to work in Boston by commuter rail, car or via the commuter boat from adjoining Hingham.
The Cohasset school system has a high academic rating. The central village includes restaurants, specialty shops and a nearby railroad station.  The town has active Community and Arts Centers, three historical museums and the renowned South Shore Music Circus, as well as the Swim Club, two beaches and the recreational facilities of Whitney Woods Reservation and the Wompatuck State Park.
