I'm considering buying a 2nd home in RI. I'm looking for a place that's near to either Narragansett or Newport and a place where I can possibly live full time some day (or a retirement home for my parents). I don't want a home that's just for summer. I'd like a yard, etc.
Any suggestions on areas?
Plenty of options....pull out a map and check out:
Parts of Newport you lose the yard or have small yards, but other parts like the 5th ward have bigger yards.
It's a great time to buy... The previous poster gave you the website to check out listings.... It would really depend on your budget... I have a second home in Charlestown and have a nice yard and close to the beaches... Narragansett, South Kingstown, all have beautiful beaches and neighborhoods with yards... Newport is beautiful but you may not get the yard you want. Good luck!
I have a second home in Narragansett, but if you aren;t fussy how close to the beach you are, you might like Wakefield and Peacedale sections. They have some very nice homes with nice yards. The beach would still be a close 15 to 20 min. ride away.
Many homes close to the beach are small, older cottages with small yards, very close to the neighbors, but you can find some on larger lots.
Consider Tiverton and Little Compton, both are quiet communities, just across the river to the East from Newport. Lots of nice homes with big yards.
