Welcome to Osterville on Beautiful Cape Cod! Osterville is a village in the city of Barnstable, Massachusetts. Located on the south side of Barnstable, Osterville is primarily residential and includes inlets and harbors for fishing and boating and a small business district. Located in the geographical center of the Cape, Osterville is moments away from Yarmouth and West Barnstable. Known for blending the past with the present, Osterville offers a rich historical experience along with the excitement of today's family. One of the charms of Osterville is the fact that you can take a ferry to the nearby islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, go bike riding, whalewatching, golfing, antiquing, or museum hopping, all within a few short miles of the Village. Spend your days ambling along scenic Route 6A, designated as one of the ten outstanding scenic byways in America, as it gracefully winds its way along the northern edge of the Cape. Sandy Neck Beach, a classic barrier beach, stretches for six miles along Cape Cod Bay less than two miles from Osterville's doorstep. Abutting the beach are acres of conservation land and protected salt marsh just perfect for birdwatching, hiking, kayaking, and sport fishing. Warm sandy beaches, lush green golf courses, quaint craft shops and much more await you. Just ask the families, couples, and groups who live here! Osterville has several nearby golf links, and if golf does not appeal to you, why not take one of the many trails and hike? West Barnstable is which a stone's throw away has some of the best antique stores in the tri-county area, and Barnstable itself has a quaint downtown where you can while away the hours just soaking in the history of the area. Houses here are quaint, older and retain a sense of history. As a result they tend to be expensive because of the historical value of the homes. Homes start at around $400,000 and move up from there, especially the ones close to the water, and have an ocean view. But, the money is well worth it as this area is one of the oldest in the nation, and carried with it great prestige. Wherever you choose to explore, you will find hidden treasures of history blended with the family fun that gives Osterville its unique charm.
