Back Home for Good: Proximity to Family Led to a Fulfilling Cape Cod Return

A retiree moved from Cape Cod to Somers, Connecticut in 2021 to be closer to her children and grandchildren, but struggled with a sparse social scene and found the cost-of-living relief insufficient. After four years, she and her husband sold their Somers home (bought for $362,000) and relocated back to Cape Cod in 2025, buying a smaller $727,000 1,500-square-foot home. The move restored daily activities (golf three times a week, gym visits) and a richer sense of community, with their kids visiting more easily. She emphasizes that quality of life and happiness, not just proximity, matter most in retirement.)

Love in Hyannis Port: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette’s Quiet Cape Cod Life

Rolling Stone paints JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy as a couple who kept a largely private Cape Cod life—secret Hyannis Port visits, a home base that became a refuge from New York’s glare, ongoing renovations and dinner-party weekends, and Martha’s Vineyard getaways—contrasting with Love Story’s on-screen depictions, and noting their 1999 plane crash that cut their Cape-era dreams short.
