How Chatham homes differ
Cape Cod Commission data identifies about 85% of Chatham residential properties as single-family and roughly 55% of all housing units as seasonal. Much of the stock dates from 1950–1999, alongside genuinely older buildings. That mix makes winter protection, summer capacity, corrosion checks and careful routing especially important.
