sheila - these are actually neighborhoods that clearly mark - "Private Way" "Keep Out" and have a separate entrance to get into their streets - alot of times they have a "private beach". There are alot of cul-de-sacs down here as well...usually they…

gated communities, is that like a culdesac? thats what they are called in my area ( in central ma ). i know i don't like them here and i think that on the cape it would take away the true romance of the area. the humble shingled cottages are cape co…

Gated Communities on Cape Cod

How do you feel about having Gated Communities on Cape Cod? There are a few in the town I live in and they are pretty strict about who goes on the property (even when it stretches to the By). With such a large large 2nd home community down here, is…

Other Information about yourself

Moved here full time close to two years ago to chase a dream of opening a Web Studio right on the Ocean. I'm a wash-a-shore that spent all of my college years and beyond coming to the Cape visiting my family which resides in Harwich and Chatham. I run Saltline Studio a Web Development company specializing in Website Design, Blogging, Email Marketing, Branding and Social Media.

On my days off I love to Surf the outer beach on my BING Noserider or Oil Paint the lovely scenes I see every day. I also like to fish, BBQ, Belgian Beers and just hang on the beach whenever possible.

A great Resource on Cape Cod - Community Development Partnership

I have been interested in buying a house of my own all my life, but how does one go about doing that in an area where in some towns the average price of a single family house is $1.37 million? Its not easy at all. The first step I took was contacting the Community Development Partnership in Eastham. A friend recommended I enroll in their First Time Home Buyer class, and I learned a ton. The CDP offers great community service they provide to people here on Cape Cod - from home buying to renting t… Continue

This month I'd like to talk a little bit about the farms that we have here on Cape Cod and how you can be part of their Harvest as a CSA member. Believe it or not there are farmers that are continuing the traditions here on Cape Cod of working the land for their keep. You can purchase a "share" in the farm's weekly harvest which is called "Community Supported Agriculture" (CSA).

What's in Season January: Winter Flounder

I think about the little beaches only known to life long residents, the Autumn, the townie bars, and the townies....there's so much to love!
