More affordable Falmouth-area housing

Teaticket, one of Falmouth’s most densely populated and developed areas, lies just east of Falmouth Village. Lower median housing costs make homebuying more attainable than in other parts of Falmouth. “It’s the working man’s part of town,” says John Barrett, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Cape Cod and long-time cape resident. Where strawberry farms and cranberry bogs once stood, sports fields, a skate park and shopping plazas have taken their place. Homes rest close together along the Maravista Peninsula, which extends between the Great and Little saltwater ponds. Maravista Avenue spans its length, and a canopy of oaks shades the sidewalks toward the Nantucket Sound. With major cape throroughfares and bus routes passing the community, as well as a nearby ferry service to Martha’s Vineyard, commuters have several choices for travel.

Boating in Great Pond and sports at Trotting Park

Though Teaticket’s land is mostly developed, there are several outdoor recreation areas in the community. Great Pond’s shoreline spans nearly 2 miles, and this saltwater pond is a popular spot for boating, with access via the Falmouth Town Landing. The narrow, mostly unpaved Great Bay Street provides a path for walking or biking beside the pond all the way down to where it flows into the Nantucket Sound. From there, sidewalks lead to the sandy shores of the town-owned Bristol Beach. A local nonprofit, the 300 Committee Land Trust, also works to purchase and preserve open land for public use as it comes available. They’re building walking paths through a white cedar swamp along Little Pond, and they’ve converted a former driving range into an “oasis of green space” at Teaticket Park, says Lucy Helfrich, their director of program services. The park’s accessible walking paths loop around native trees and toward a meadow planted with pollinator plants such as monarch-friendly swamp milkweed, Joe Pye weed and wood anemone. “We let some of the plants repopulate naturally and we recently added an outdoor classroom and an Eagle Scout built a small labyrinth — it’s a meditative piece,” she says. Families can also spend their free time at the 23-acre Trotting Park, named for its previous use as a horse-racing track. Local youth leagues practice in its sports fields and walkers use the former horse track for exercise. There is also a skate park.

Lots of Cape Cod-style homes in Teaticket

During the cape’s housing boom in the mid-to-late 1900s, scores of Cape Cods and small ranch-style cottages sprang up across Teaticket. Modest homes shared their compact lots with private septic systems until recent years. By 2019, many of the area properties, especially those in Maravista, were connected to the town’s wastewater treatment lines in an effort to reduce nitrogen levels in Great and Little ponds. While the majority of available real estate consists of Cape Cod-style cottages priced between $450,000 and $950,000, some buyers are choosing to knock down the smaller, older homes and build larger, new ones that are better suited to year-round living. Residences with views of Great Pond are generally priced between $1.2 million and $1.6 million. There are also a few cedar-shingled homes from the 1930s which border the Nantucket Sound. These are generally passed down within families and do not usually come on the market — their values are estimated between $1 million and $2.2 million.

Cheering for the Falmouth Commodores in summer

Most of Teaticket lies less than 2 miles from the center of Falmouth Village, where there are a weekly farmers market and family-friendly entertainment throughout the summer. Summer also marks the beginning of baseball season, when fans pack the bleachers and grassy hillsides at Fuller Field to cheer for their Cape Cod Baseball League team, the Falmouth Commodores. In December, the annual Christmas parade begins next to the Falmouth Plaza in Teaticket. “It’s a really big thing — there are all kinds of floats and bands,” Barrett says.

From Walmart to the Cape Cod Winery

Just west of the Maravista peninsula is Falmouth’s main commercial strip. “There are a few mom and pops, but it’s mostly big-box stores and chains,” Helfrich says. “The area where Walmart is used to be a cranberry bog — people would ice skate there in the winter.” Shoppers from around the town here stock up on groceries and shop for clothing and household essentials. Restaurants include Quahog Republic, a self-proclaimed dive bar that serves popular cape staples, such as lobster rolls and stuffed quahogs. Barrett enjoys Casa Vallarta Mexican Restaurant. “When you go inside, you get the feeling that you’re in Mexico,” he says. At the northern edge of Teaticket is the Cape Cod Winery. They have regular entertainment in warmer months, including trivia nights and live music, and patrons can order wine flights as well as dips and sandwiches. In the evenings, some people drive into Falmouth Village, which is packed with upscale restaurants, boutiques and spots to grab a cocktail with friends.

Commuting to work from Teaticket

Teaticket is home to many of the cape’s year-round — or nearly year-round — residents, who work serving the summer tourists at the nearby restaurants, welding the frames for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute’s vessels and tending to sick patients at Falmouth Hospital. Many people get around by car, and the cape’s main thoroughfare, state Route 28, passes by the northern part of the village. When summer congestion causes slowdowns, drivers have access to alternate roads, including Trotting Park Road and Sandwich Road, which allow commuters to skirt downtown tourist traffic. Several Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority bus lines, including the Sealine and the CapeFLYER Connection stop at the Falmouth Mall and take riders around the cape. Those who work on Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket can ride the Island Queen ferry, which makes daily trips from Falmouth Inner Harbor, about 1 mile east.

Living near water

Groups such as the US Geological Survey and the Environmental Protection Agency regularly monitor the cape’s waterways for the presence of nitrogen, as most currently exceed recommended levels. Residents can contact the town to verify if a body of water is safe for swimming or shellfishing. There are efforts throughout the cape to reduce fertilizer use and switch from septic to sewer systems in order to protect native wildlife and improve the water quality. Homebuyers should also check whether a property lies within a flood zone — some properties will require the purchase of flood insurance.
