[quote=Anonymous]$10k is very high for Chatham. We don't rent our house but if we did it would rent for around $5k/week in season - very nice house, 4 BRs, 4 BAs, water view and water access, fire pit, deck. The house is worth around $1.5m for perspective, so not a shack but not one of the $multi million Shore Road houses either.

Obviously since we chose to buy here we like it. The sharks are around, mostly starting in August, but honestly they aren't that much of a factor anymore. In Chatham most of the beaches are not on the ocean - they are either on the Sound, Pleasant Bay, or inside the outer beach. The sharks are farther out, at least so far. It's more of an issue on the ocean side beaches on the outer cape, but even there it really doesn't bother me but I am not doing deep ocean swimming or surfing.

We love the town of Chatham although it does get very crowded in July and August. It doesn't affect us that much other than parking downtown and getting dinner reservations for a large group.

We like our neighbors - it's a very friendly neighborhood (much more so than our neighborhood in DC!).

There is a lot to do in the summer - beach, boating and water sports, biking, walking on the beach, lobsters, art fairs, author talks, etc. And I like just sitting on the deck and looking at the ocean.

There are people who love the Cape and those who don't. In MA it's either the Cape/Islands or New Hampshire/Maine. In DC it's more of a north (NJ shore, Cape Cod) vs south (OBX, Hilton Head) thing - plus DE/MD of course. I get that some people don't like the Cape and that's totally fine. Not sure why people feel the need to attack it though. I don't have anything bad to say about OBX. There is room for both places in this world.[/quote]
