Where Village Charm Meets Waterfront Ease: Welcome to The Harbor Cohasset
July 30, 2025 By Carol Britton Meyer
The Harbor Cohasset — offering luxury condominium living at its finest — is the first of its kind on the South Shore.
The first residents recently moved into several of the 23 turn-key units at this boutique condominium development, nestled along the picturesque shores of scenic Cohasset Harbor and within a short walk of historic Cohasset Village and its many restaurants, cafes, unique shops and the Town Common. Sandy and Black Rock beaches, as well as parks and nature preserves, are also close by.
The Harbor Cohasset residents enjoy the tranquility of a small seaside town and the comforts of a relaxed, coastal lifestyle within easy access to the commuter rail, ferry service, and Route 3A for those who work in Boston or enjoy spending leisure time in the city.
In addition to the spectacular water views from these single-level condominiums, residents can enjoy the heated outdoor saltwater pool, a private members’ clubhouse for gatherings, a fitness center, and green space, and more.
The buildings — which are new construction and ready for occupancy — also feature high-end appliances and cozy gas fireplaces.
Other amenities include on-site property management — exterior maintenance, landscaping, and snow and trash removal, along with an underground heated garage on the first floor and elevator access (direct-to-unit in select homes).
“The Harbor Cohasset fits well with the aesthetics of the rest of the town and blends with its historic nature,” listing broker Greta Gustafson told the Cohasset Anchor. “Residents of The Harbor Cohasset can move to town and take a deep breath.”
The single-level design and other amenities offer convenience and accessibility for those who are looking for a luxury condominium on the South Shore, including those wishing to downsize and to be free from the responsibilities of single-family home ownership.
“Until now, there were no luxury condominium options for those wishing to move from a large home into one that doesn’t require repairs or rehabilitation,” Gustafson said. “The Harbor Cohasset provides an opportunity for buyers to move into something more manageable, with no sacrifice of quality.”
Residents also have the assurance of knowing that if they head to Florida for the winter or elsewhere on a trip, they can feel comfortable when they lock the door behind them that their homes will be safe and secure while they are away.
Others like the convenience of living in Cohasset year-round to be close to friends and family living on the South Shore.
The Harbor Cohasset developer is currently in negotiations with potential tenants for the commercial space located near the West building.
The harborside Captain’s Walk public walkway and adjoining greenspace at the front of the main building can be enjoyed by the public, “providing connectivity from the Village to the Harbor,” Gustafson said.
This area was not formerly accessible to the public when a hotel operated at this location.

…SAFE HARBOR
Buyers seeking someplace new on the water may prefer The Harbor Cohasset, 23 brand-new condominiums in three low-rise buildings overlooking the harbor or James Brook. Greta Gustafson, LandVest’s director of new development, is the exclusive broker for the property. She reports that 16 single-level residences are available for sale, with two-bedrooms starting at $1.3 million and three-bedrooms at $2.1 million. “Some of our buyers have multiple properties and will use this during the summer, but others are living here full time.”
“The complex is near Sandy Beach and within walking distance of downtown Cohasset,” Gustafson remarks, “and it’s only 20 miles from Boston. Best of all, this is the only new-construction waterfront luxury condominium project on the South Shore. There is also a fitness center, a heated saltwater pool and a private members’ clubhouse over-looking the harbor.”

From secret coastal towns with charming shop-lined streets in Rhode Island to sleepy villages in Massachusetts boasting iconic fall foliage and historic charm, the space between Boston and New York is brimming with charming stops. Approximately 20 miles southeast of Boston is one such destination: the suburban seaside gem of Cohasset. According to real estate sales specialist Jeffrey Chubb's blog, Cohasset is a "quintessential New England town," equipped with unique shops and an intimate local community.
Sparkling with picturesque beaches, enchanting coastal views, and beautiful state parks offering miles of hiking trails and scenic adventures, you'll find plenty of outdoor delights to keep you satisfied in Cohasset. Meanwhile, the small village center is dotted with historic landmarks, boutiques, and scrumptious seafood eateries, creating the perfect atmosphere to bring all your small-town dreams to life. Whether you're desiring an easy day trip from Boston or longing for a weekend couple's trip in a beautiful East Coast beach town, mark Cohasset on your map for a quintessential New England experience.
Experience beach-filled beauty and outdoor adventures
One of Cohasset's main charms is its location. Resting peacefully along the magnificent Massachusetts coastline, the small seaside village is home to the beautiful Black Rock and Sandy beaches. While both offer breathtaking ocean views, they have different landscapes and atmospheres. Black Rock Beach's namesake rocky terrain is great for activities like tide-pooling and fishing. Meanwhile, the aptly named Sandy Beach is ideal for swimming and long strolls through dreamy white sand. To discover more pristine coastlines and some of Massachusetts' best views, head to the World's End park in the nearby Hingham.
If you're dreaming of a scenic, forest-lined hike, head to Wompatuck State Park, where you'll find over 40 miles of trails. For a beginner-level hike, try the Heart Health Loop, a 1-mile paved trail through gorgeous woodlands. To kick it up a notch, the 4.1-mile Mount Blue Spring Trail is an ideal moderate hike featuring gentle hills, peaceful ponds, and forest scenery. If you have a bike handy, you can ride the Whitney Spur Bikeway, a 5.2-mile out-and-back route winding through the forest.
Discover small town charm and historic beauty in Cohasset Village
If you're searching for a classic small-town New England atmosphere, stroll through the town's downtown district, Cohasset Village.

For more shopping, pop into Darilynn's Home Presence and browse through an array of jewelry, home decor, and locally crafted treasures.
When you need a bite, try Salty Days Fish Co. for delicious seafood entrees, sushi rolls, and small bites. If you want a romantic atmosphere with elegant main dishes, nestle into Bia Bistro. Try the orange-glazed Long Island duck and sip-worthy specialty cocktails. To indulge in a modern take on classic New England cuisine, head to the Red Lion Inn Tavern. For history buffs who would rather eat in Boston, order up some oysters and beer at one of America's oldest restaurants.
If you're staying in Cohasset, go ahead and book a room at the Red Lion Inn. Dating back to 1704, the historic hotel features cozy suites with fireplaces, a stunning rustic wood-paneled barn, and an intimate speakeasy-style lounge with live music on Thursday evenings.
