North Apponagansett
Suburban Neighborhood in Dartmouth, Massachusetts
Bristol County 02747, 02748
North Apponagansett sits between Westport and Dartmouth, taking pieces of both worlds. You have a bit of rural flair from Westport and the cultural or dining attractions of Dartmouth, all blending into what some Realtors call the “country coastal” lifestyle.
“This area of Dartmouth used to be an old seaport,” says Realtor Ellie Wickes. “You’ve got the Bedford Yacht Club nearby, as well as lots of cute little shops.”
It’s not uncommon for homes here to be in the million-dollar range. You’ll see a lot of contemporary styles, like a modern farmhouse colonial, located in a quiet suburban development with cul-de-sacs. Inside you can expect a continuation of the modern farmhouse aesthetic with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Another type of home you might encounter here is a Craftsman-style ranch, sprawling across nearly 3,000 square feet. Lots are also big, with many reaching up to 1.5 acres. Look for bespoke touches like stone accents and a chef’s kitchen. Inside these homes, you might say the look reflects a mix of rustic and refined: earth tone color palettes, cabinetry with heavy wood grain and tiled bathroom walls.
Joseph DeMello Elementary enrolls nearly 400 students in Grades 1-5, and has a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1. Niche awards the school an A in the teachers category. Dartmouth Middle steps up the population size, with 800 students enrolled in Grades 6-8. And yet the school maintains an 11 to 1 student-teacher ratio, helping it to earn an A-plus in the teachers category. With over 1,000 students, Dartmouth High is the largest school in the local pipeline. Despite its size, it also maintains a close student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1, earning an A in the teachers category. Niche also gives the school a B-plus in the clubs and activities category. The music department in particular is known for high achievement, winning consecutive regional championships throughout the 2010s.
While there’s certainly a vibrant dining scene in nearby New Bedford, there are also wholesome neighborhood hotspots in North Apponagansett. Friendly Pizza lives up to its name with attentive staff, comfy booth-style seating and a nearly 50-year-old menu that has perfected the art of the pie – try the scallop and shrimp pizza for some coastal comfort. Open since 2009, Cravings Cakes invites you to sink your teeth into chocolate ganache and vanilla buttercream frosting. One local says they offer “the best cupcakes in 50 miles.”
You don’t have to travel far for outdoor recreation, either. Star of the Sea Reserve has an illustrious name, and rightly so: it used to be a gravel mining operation, but today it’s a great place to explore and relax in nature. Take to the trails and be rewarded with a view of Apponagansett Bay. This is also where you’ll see “country coastal” lifestyle in action: starting out with oak and birch forests, you’ll encounter salamanders in wetter areas, while near the coast you’ll cross paths with fiddler crabs and birds of prey.
North Apponagansett shows that you can bring a balance between worlds.
