Oceanfront vs. Pondfront, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA



Oceanfront......


.....or, pondfront?

In terms of audio and visual impact, interest, and variety, I prefer life by a pond rather than by the ocean (less expensive also). Yes, the ocean has that magical attraction and offers an endless vista looking across the water. But a freshwater pond just teems with visible and audible wildlife. Birds of many species fly back and forth to nest and bring back food to their babies. An osprey will dive into the water and grab a sunfish in its talons, then struggle mightily to become airborne again. Muskrat surface from the pondside burrow and swim across the pond to feed elsewhere. Swans vigorously and loudly flap their huge wings as they fly by at very low altitudes or surge across the surface when busking. A red-shouldered hawk perches beside the water no more than ten feet off the ground looking for snakes, eels, or frogs to catch and eat or take home to the nest for junior. The honk of geese, squawk of grackles, song of chickadees and red-winged blackbirds, the staccato burst of downy woodpeckers, cooing of doves, and chatter of squirrels, the croak of frogs - a veritable natural cacophony. Yep, pond life is more interesting. And, it is said that Plymouth has 365 ponds - one for every day of the year - lots of pondfront places to live!

  1. Hi there! I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about oceanfront. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about oceanfront. Keep it up! This is a good read. You have such an interesting and informative page.
    A property receives the “oceanfront” label -- and usually a higher price tag -- when the space between it and the beach is not an area where someone is allowed to build a road or another structure. It is worth noting that you may not be able to see the beach or the water in the horizon from your window. Thus, do not assume that the oceanfront property you are considering offers those sightseeing opportunities. When you rent a vacation home or reserve a hotel room over the Internet or telephone, be specific about what your view expectations are when communicating with customer service.
