Condos for Sale in Jamestown Shores, Jamestown

Jamestown Shores is a charming neighborhood known for its historic summer cottages from the late 1800s and early 1900s, alongside 1960s and 70s-era split-level and ranch-style homes, and some newer traditional constructions. The area features neat lawns, flower beds, and tree-lined streets, although noise from the nearby Jamestown Bridge can be significant in the southern parts. Residents enjoy proximity to Head’s Beach, a scenic and undisturbed coastline within a mile of most homes, and the historic Godena and Watson farms offering fresh, locally grown produce. The public, 9-hole Jamestown Golf Course, located about 3 miles southeast, provides picturesque views of Narragansett Bay. While Jamestown Shores lacks a central commercial district, downtown Jamestown, known as the Village area, is less than 4 miles away, featuring McQuade’s Marketplace, local gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and the Narragansett Café with live music. The neighborhood is largely car-dependent, with Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus stops on Route 138 and additional bus services downtown. For education, the Jamestown School District includes highly rated Melrose Avenue School and Lawn School, with high school students attending either North Kingstown High or Narragansett High, both offering specialized programs. The crime rate in Jamestown Shores is lower than the national average, contributing to its appeal as a residential area.
