Before 1998, a town called Gay Head attracted visitors to Martha's Vineyard. Today, the same town is called Aquinnah and attracts new residents. According to the 2010 U.S. census, only 311 people called Aquinnah home. As of 2015, that number had increased to about 385.
Residents are attracted to Aquinnah for its serene surroundings and emphasis on the maritime industry. Neighborhoods in the town are largely rural, with several farms within the bounds. In fact, housing density is very low. There are just 86 homes per square mile in Aquinnah, which is bordered by Vineyard Sound and Chilmark. Many of the homes offer spectacular views of surrounding communities.
The median home price in Aquinnah is likely near $1,000,000, but the estimated value of these homes was higher as of 2013. These homes are situated on the 5.4 square miles of land that make up Aquinnah, typically located along dirt roads. Additionally, the town is considered the smallest town by land area on Martha's Vineyard.
Living in Aquinnah can be peaceful and serene. If you are looking for a home in the beautiful town of Aquinnah, make sure to sign up for an open house today.
