Centerville offers classic seaside living with year-round conveniences, set within Barnstable along Nantucket Sound. Locals head to Craigville and Covell’s beaches for broad sand, warm summer surf, and stunning sunsets, while freshwater options like Wequaquet Lake add paddling and fishing to the mix. The village center feels personal and walkable, with maple-lined streets, the beloved 1856 Country Store, and the enduring draw of Four Seas Ice Cream. For municipal services, permits, and recreation updates, residents rely on the Town of Barnstable.
Families appreciate strong school options. Centerville’s neighborhood schools are part of Barnstable Public Schools, and college-prep seekers often consider Sturgis Charter Public School in nearby Hyannis. The Centerville Public Library anchors community life with story times, author talks, and makerspace programming, while the Centerville Historical Museum curates exhibits that bring the village’s maritime and cranberry heritage to life.
Daily errands are simple, with larger retail and healthcare hubs in Hyannis and easy access to neighboring villages like Osterville, Marstons Mills, and Cotuit.
