Dukes
One of the most unique counties in Massachusetts is Dukes County. Comprised of the island of Martha's Vineyard, Chappaquiddick Island, the Elizabeth Islands, the island of Nomans Land, and other various islets, this county is considered by many to be the exclusive playground of the rich and famous. And while they certainly have taken up residency here, there are opportunities for all kinds of people to consider and this is certainly one intriguing possibility for those looking to live a bit differently.
While Martha Vineyard’s year-round population is around 15,000, the summer season boosts that population to over 100,000 thanks to the many vacationers who take advantage of the free beaches, recreational opportunities, and nightlife options. But don’t forget about the natural beauty of the region, which is the region everyone comes here in the first place.
