About 16,000 people live in Duxbury year-round, and there
are a few neighborhoods to check out before considering a
move. Cedar Crest offers oceanfront homes that are a stone’s
throw away from Duxbury Beach. South Duxbury has a small
beach on Duxbury Bay and a boat launch onto Kingston Bay.
The area is home to some large residential areas, in addition
to a small commercial sector with a few shops, restaurants,
and a grocery store. The Tinkertown Neighborhood
Association has been preserving its neighborhood’s history
for over 50 years. The association also host events for the
area of town that’s filled with new and historic homes.
The Power Point Bridge permits access to the beach
over the Back River. The 2,200-foot wooden bridge
was originally constructed in 1892, and today it is a
beach portal as well as a popular fishing spot.
Restaurants, such as the Oysterman and the Anchor, can be
found in Millbrook along St. George Street. This center also
includes a general store, remote working space, and Farfar’s
Ice Cream, which has been serving homemade Danish
scoops since 1979. Ashdod is in the northwest section of
town, and its homes are situated among forests and bogs.
This part of town borders both Pembroke and Marshfield
and provides easy travel both north and south because it’s
right on the Pilgrims Highway, which goes directly to Boston
and Cape Cod. South of Ashdod is West Duxbury, another
residential community with forests and bogs.
