Living Local: Town of Pembroke

from Talk Real Estate · host Sharon McNamara & Melissa Wallace

Living Local: Celebrating the Charm of Pembroke with Boston Connect Real Estate At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a “moving experience.” That philosophy shines through each week on our Talk Real Estate Roundtable show, and our latest episode was a heartfelt celebration of one of our favorite communities—Pembroke, Massachusetts. This episode kicked off with hosts Sharon McNamara, Melissa Wallace, and Kristen Howlett reminiscing and laughing their way through local life and real estate. While real estate is the heart of what we do, our passion extends far beyond just buying and selling homes. We’re about building community—and Pembroke is a town that makes that easy. Why We Love Pembroke Nestled between Boston and Cape Cod, Pembroke offers that perfect blend of rural beauty and suburban charm. The town’s roots trace back to 1650, and it officially became a town in 1712. Historically known as “the place of much fish,” Pembroke’s identity is deeply tied to its abundant waterways like Furnace Pond, Oldham Pond, and Silver Lake. It even once featured a lively amusement park called Mayflower Grove! During the episode, Kristen and Melissa shared a blend of town trivia, historical tidbits, and personal stories—like Sharon’s father being one of the first to water ski across Furnace Pond. The sense of pride and nostalgia was palpable, reminding us why Pembroke feels like home even to those who don’t technically live there. A Strong Sense of Community What sets Pembroke apart is its tight-knit community. Whether it’s the bustling farmer’s market in the summer, the homegrown businesses like Blackbird Baking Company, or the everyday smiles you get walking into town hall—Pembroke is a place where people show up for one another. We love seeing our agents not only work in this town but be part of it. Many serve on school boards, volunteer locally, and raise their families here. As Melissa said on the show, “We’re not just selling a house—we’re selling a lifestyle, a community, and everything that makes it special.” Real Estate, the Boston Connect Way Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or someone thinking about downsizing like Kristen mentioned on air, Boston Connect is here to guide you through the journey.
