About Mashpee
Living in Mashpee
Mashpee combines rich Wampanoag heritage with modern luxury living, featuring New Seabury's private beach clubs, golf courses, and pristine coastal landscapes.
Mashpee sits on the south side of the Upper and Mid-Cape between Falmouth and Barnstable. It is the home of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, whose history on this land goes back thousands of years, and the town still carries Wampanoag place names throughout.
Housing is largely organized into neighborhoods and planned communities rather than old village centers. New Seabury and Popponesset sit on Nantucket Sound, Willowbend is built around a private golf club, and the land around Mashpee-Wakeby Pond and Johns Pond offers freshwater frontage that is rare elsewhere on the Cape.
Mashpee Commons serves as the town's walkable center, with shops, restaurants and year-round events. South Cape Beach State Park and the Waquoit Bay reserve protect long stretches of shoreline, and Route 28 and Route 151 give quick access to Falmouth, Hyannis and the Cape Cod Canal.
