On Narragansett Bay in far northern North Kingstown
Once a Narragansett Native American summer village, then 17th-century farmland, Mt View’s current narrow residential streets were platted in the early 1920s. They haven’t changed much in the hundred years since, though most of the standing today were built in the 1960s or later. The northern North Kingstown neighborhood is still sought after for its quiet, almost rural atmosphere and proximity to Narragansett Bay. “While there are no boat launches in the neighborhood, residents have beach access, and anyone can kayak or swim on the bay,” says Realtor Mark Raymond of Residential Properties, who’s lived in North Kingstown for over 30 years. Realtor Toby Kimball with Residential Properties, who has decades of experience in the local market, says the area’s home prices are competitive, for now. “It ranges from the low $400,000s, for homes that need a lot of work, all the way up to over a million, for the ones that are right on the water,” he says, observing that the spectrum is “low for Rhode Island.”

Home prices rise closer to Narragansett Bay
Weathered cedar shingle-clad Cape Cod cottages and bungalows with white-painted wooden siding fill Mt View’s grid-patterned streets between slightly larger, but equally coastal, Colonials and ranch-style homes. Windswept scrubby pine trees, beach grass and ferns fill narrow side yards, and short driveways extend directly to the street, uninterrupted by sidewalks. “It has a lot of little, tiny houses,” Kimball says. “Some of them should probably be torn down,” he adds, observing that many of the oldest homes have not been maintained well, though some of the waterfront homes have been updated recently. “Homes on the water can sell for over $1 million. But homes off the bay are less expensive. You have the same water access, just not the same bay view,” Raymond says, observing that sales prices for inland homes run anywhere from around $300,000 to $625,000.
