Natural scenery and a slower pace in Little Compton
Widely considered one of the most picturesque parts of Westport, the neighborhood of Little Compton is full of natural beauty. Little Compton’s peninsula follows the Sakonnet River and eventually juts out into the ocean. It’s a rural retreat ideal for those looking to adopt a slow pace of life. “Little Compton is appealing to people who want privacy and anonymity,” says Stefanie Carr, a Realtor with Lila Delman Compass. “There’s no nightlife scene. It’s very quiet and quaint. It feels removed but you can get to Providence in about 40 minutes.”

Half-acre lots and diverse styles define the housing market
Housing styles and prices are diverse. For example, buyers can find a custom-built home from 2018 in the upper $500,000s. These pay homage to the classic New England look, with wood shingle siding. Closer to the water, prices crest into the multi-million range. These homes will have a rustic vibe, with elements of coastal cottages or lodges present inside and out. Whichever route, lots are typically sized a half-acre or more.
