    Rockport’s 01966 is a postcard New England seaside village on Cape Ann, known for granite-quarry cliffs, the red fishing shack Motif No. 1, and the gallery- and boutique-lined lanes of Bearskin Neck. Expect cool ocean breezes in summer and brisk winters. Days revolve around the water—Front and Back Beach, Old Garden Beach, and Halibut Point State Park for tide pools, birding, and ocean-view walks—while evenings bring concerts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center and low-key dining at Roy Moore Lobster Co., Red Skiff, Brothers Brew Coffee Shop, and local ice cream spots. Family- and pet-friendly with walkable streets, it blends year-round neighbors, artists, and retirees with summer visitors. Per Zillow Market Trends, recent median asking rent hovers in the low $3,000s, with most longer-term listings roughly $2,200–$3,800 and higher in summer. Essentials cluster near Dock Square and the Whistlestop shops, with larger groceries minutes away in Gloucester, and the MBTA Rockport commuter-rail terminus enables car-light living.
