A peaceful eastern island neighborhood offering expansive lots for true privacy.
Tom Nevers is a peaceful eastern side Nantucket neighborhood named after a Native American, Tom Never, who manned a whale lookout station in the 1700s. The area has a rich history, including a 1950s U.S. Navy facility, which even served as a potential bomb shelter for President John F. Kennedy; the bunker remains today.
