Apartments for Rent in Hyannis MA

Cape Cod's self-described Capital of the Cape, Hyannis is the largest and most active of the seven villages within the Town of Barnstable -- and it earns that title year-round. Historic Main Street draws visitors and residents alike with walkable blocks of locally owned shops, al fresco dining, and a lively bandstand at the Village Green. The Route 132 corridor adds a more car-oriented stretch of national retailers and restaurants. Ferries departing from Hyannis Harbor connect to Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, giving renters easy access to island life without leaving the mainland.

The rental market runs the range from cedar-shingled Cape Cod cottages and classic Colonial-style homes to updated townhomes and smaller apartment communities. Saltbox architecture and coastal New England character appear throughout the neighborhood streets, giving the area a charm that sets it apart from more generic suburban corridors.

Cape Cod Hospital, the largest medical facility on the Cape, is a major institutional anchor, and Cape Cod Potato Chips has its headquarters right here in Independence Park. The Town of Barnstable, one of the oldest incorporated towns in Massachusetts, dates to 1639 -- a deep historical foundation beneath a busy commercial surface.
