Waterfront views in West Reach Estates
On the north end of Jamestown, West Reach Estates overlooks Narragansett Bay. “We had a huge influx of people coming in from Boston and New York, specifically,” says Justin Mandese, a Realtor with Real Broker LLC who has lived in New England since 2002. “Lots of people looking for that getaway home, that remote workspace, or people saying, ‘Hey, now’s the time, we don’t want to wait anymore,’ and getting that second home.” Properties tend to include spacious backyards with lush trees providing a sense of privacy. Residents will have to visit downtown for shopping, dining, and amenities, or they can take the bridge to Newport and Narragansett.

Cottages and newly built homes
“It’s a mix of cottages, but also a place where buyers are coming in and building new homes, and/or tearing down existing cottages to build new, bigger homes,” Mandese says. Properties in West Reach Estates tend to be spaced out with large trees providing privacy. Single-family homes between 1,000 to about 2,000 square feet range from $380,000 to $870,000. Waterfront homes over 3,000 square feet start at $3.9 million to $4.2 million. "People are spending more money on redevelopment there,” Mandese says. “Generally speaking, the prices are somewhat similar to the rest of the island. But it really depends on proximity to water. As soon as you get close to water, the price skyrockets, and as soon as you go off the water, the prices kind of level out.”
New construction is still a possibility in the West Reach Estates neighborhood.

Homes along the bay often have docks for their boats and kayaks.
