If the thought of living on the Cape sounds appealing or romantic or trouble free,
THINK AGAIN
Here are two well-known facts:
- in the warm months, traffic can be tied up for miles due to the influx of tourists
- in the winter, the weather may be damp, raw, downright freezing, or perhaps
snowing a blizzard

If this doesn't scare you off, consider
ECONOMIC FACTORS
- the price of gasoline, services, food, or other goods is often
10 to 25% higher than prices off Cape
- year-round rentals are scarce and may easily cost over $1,000 a month
- the price of a decent 3-bedroom,
2-bath home starts at $300,000
- employment is mainly in the service industry and provides low or minimum-wage pay
THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE CAPE COD
Okay. Okay. It's true. Cape Cod has an environmental charm all
its own. Being surrounded by ocean can balance out the negatives and make living on the Cape well worthwhile (one lives "on Cape Cod," not "in Cape Cod").
Actually, many people fall in love with Cape Cod...so come, if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you......
