Brewster Real Estate Guide

WHY OWN REAL ESTATE IN BREWSTER

It is conveniently located near the center of Cape Cod, with easy access to Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic beaches of the National Seashore. With an abundance of open space made up of both beaches and forest, it also offers the convenience of being close to lots of shopping in the nearby towns of Orleans and Dennis. Brewster protects its rural character through its by-laws and sign codes. Over one third of Brewster’s land is protected, and it boasts the best drinking water on Cape Cod. Established in 1803, the town encompasses approximately twenty three square miles, with 24 ponds larger than 10 acres in size. The year-round population of 9,800 grows to about 25,000 during the summer season. Located on the bay side, Brewster is known for its many beaches with vast tidal flats which make it a beachcomber’s paradise.
