Explore living in Hull, MA. A coastal South Shore town known for Nantasket Beach, ocean views, and ferry access to Boston.
Hull is a town unlike any other on the South Shore, a narrow peninsula jutting into Boston Harbor, wrapped almost entirely by water, with Nantasket Beach running along its Atlantic-facing spine. You don't stumble into Hull. You choose it deliberately.
The town's roughly 10,000 year-round residents live alongside seasonal homeowners who've been coming for generations. That mix gives Hull a layered character, part tight-knit community, part coastal escape, that's difficult to replicate. On a clear day, you can see the Boston skyline from the beach.
Getting to Boston: The MBTA ferry from Hull to Long Wharf in downtown Boston runs seasonally and is one of the most pleasant commutes in the metro area. Year-round, the Greenbush commuter line offers service from Scituate to South Station. The nearest station is Nantasket Junction and the MBTA just increased bus presence on Hull.
The Market: Hull's real estate is some of the most varied on the South Shore from modest beach cottages to well-appointed year-round homes with direct water frontage. Prices range broadly, from the low $300,000s for smaller properties to well over $1 million for prime waterfront. Many buyers find they can access a beach lifestyle at a price point that would be impossible in Cohasset or Hingham.
What Makes It Different: Hull has the Hull Lifesaving Museum, a vibrant summer restaurant scene along Nantasket Avenue, and a community ethos that tends to produce long-term residents. People who buy in Hull, whether for a primary home or a second property, rarely leave quickly.
Flood zone and coastal considerations are real in Hull, and buyers should work with an agent who understands the nuances of waterfront and near-water purchases. That due diligence is straightforward; the lifestyle payoff is significant.
