Great town! This town has so much to offer. Having previously lived in Freetown (Assonet neighborhood) I can say Dartmouth seems to have so much more to offer than other towns in the area and I am not just speaking in the shopping/business sense. Great property taxes, great education system, great coastline, accessible healthcare, low crime and a welcoming community.
If you like semi-rural-to-suburban living with ocean beaches, wildlife conservation areas, and state forests, but where you can still be within a few minutes of mall shopping, you will love Dartmouth. It's a Right-to-Farm community where your neighbors may sell fresh eggs, but where Umass Dartmouth will probably be less than 15 minutes from your door. Other than in academics, job opportunities beyond basic retail and restaurant work do not abound, and the nightlife is sparse to say the least. However the New Bedford waterfront is next door, and Providence is only 35 minutes away.
There are many great towns on the Southcoast, but the breadth of everything it offers makes Dartmouth the best one. Having lived in suburbs of boston considered some of the best in the state and then moved here i can definitively say that this is the best part of the state. Like you live on a better more interesting version of Cape Cod.
