Provincetown Neighborhood Snapshot – The Far West End

The Far West End is not really that far, but for ease of differentiation thats what we’ll call it.  From West Vine Street west to the Moors and north of  Bradford Street there is a ton of real estate activity going on.

One of the busiest neighborhoods is the four corners at West Vine and Bradford Extension. The 51-57 West Vine Townhouses are finally done after several years of building. The last one is 53 W Vine #D, a 2/3 with 1,182 square feet and is $949K. These properties have anchored this neighborhood with solid sales and high quality since their launch.

With their proximity to the water and to downtown Provincetown these streets provide an ideal summer retreat and for many a year round home.
