A classic New England small town
Glocester is a sizable township in west Providence County, Rhode Island. The town is made up of two villages, Chepachet and Harmony. Chepachet is considered the town center and feels like a classic New England small town, complete with local dining and grocery options. Beyond the two villages, Glocester is known for its seclusion, foliage and numerous undeveloped land lots. Long Realty, a family-owned Rhode Island firm since 1959, is based in Glocester; owner and broker Gregory Coupe says, "A lot of residents enjoy having the country aspect in town; they can farm on their land, and there's forestry work done as well."
Winding roads with modern homes
Glocester is well-populated with modern ranch-style, Cape Cod, and farmhouse-style homes, typically on larger lots in the outlying areas and more compact in the villages — single-family homes in Glocester range from $250,000 to $975,000. Homebuyers can expect a fixer-upper on an acre-lot at the low end of the price range to a new construction on multiple acres in a luxury subdivision towards the top. Glocester is known for its winding, tree-lined roads through its expansive territory, with many homes containing straight driveways and attached garages.
Glocester has a range of home styles including newer Ranch styles.
Updated or well kept Colonial or Farm Houses are common in Glocester.
Cape Cod style houses are plentiful in Glocester and are often uniquely personalized.

A 20-mile commute to Providence
Coupe says, "Some people work in Providence and commute there, and some are more tied to the land and the agricultural opportunities in Glocester." The main road of Putnam Pike doubles as U.S. Route 44 and can take residents to Providence after a 20-mile drive. At the same time, a 36-mile drive north will take residents to Worcester. RIPTA Bus Route 9X also runs along Route 44 and has direct stops to local spots like Dino's Park and Shop, Village Bean Café and significant shopping districts in neighboring Greenville. Glocester's tree-lined expanses offer breathing room, recreation and land lot potential, while their villages provide local businesses and small-town amenities.
Glocester has bus lines along its main corridors.
The intersection of Route 102 and Route 44 is a busy exchange in Chepachet.

A satirical tradition dating back to 1926
Glocester has a unique tradition every July 4th, the Ancients and Horribles Parade. As the history goes, back in 1926, President Calvin Coolidge paraded through Glocester with the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts; Rhode Island residents poked fun at the event and created a parody parade in the following years. A satirical tradition for more than 97 years, locals make timely cultural and political jokes through costumes and parade floats as part of Independence Day celebrations.
