Saunderstown
Shoreside residences on Narragansett Bay
The town is populated with classic New England Cape Cods, split-level colonials and oversized ranches. Prices range from $359,000 to $1.3 million. For the low end of the price range, homebuyers can find two-bedrooms sitting on an acre, and for the higher end, there are three-bedroom villas overlooking the brackish waters of Narragansett Bay, close enough to feel the sea breeze from the porch.

Swimming and sunbathing at North Kingstown Town Beach
Residents can choose swimming, sunbathing, fishing, or volleyball in the fine, golden sand of North Kingstown Town Beach, open year-round. Further inland, there are neighborhood green spaces like Updike Park, with gardens and benches, or 272-acre Ryan Park, with multiple walking trails, basketball courts, softball fields and the vibrant Belleville Pond at its center.

A historic district with local boutiques
For shopping, there's Wickford Village, a historic district with local boutiques on Main Street. The village has been around since the 1700s and was a port town for trade and commerce in New England. Now, residents can browse antique and clothing stores like Green Ink and Binnsy Boutique while passing restored Colonial settlements that have stood for hundreds of years. Grocery chain Stop & Shop has a location 5 miles west of North Kingstown as well. Gardner's Wharf Seafood serves fresh catches from the Bay as well as fish and chips, clam cakes and chowder. There's also Wickford on the Water, an upscale eatery offering short-rib shepherd's pie, blackened cod and sunset views of Wickford Cove.

Connected to I-95 and the Boston metro
Though a car might be needed for groceries, Conway adds, "North Kingstown is walkable, especially since places like Wickford Village are within the town for shopping. There's a bike path that people use here quite often." There's also the Wickford Junction "T" station, the last stop on the Providence-Stoughton train line, which connects residents to the Boston metro area in under two hours. U.S. Route 1 runs through the town and feeds into the bustling Interstate 95, which can take you to Providence in 25 miles. North Kingstown's variety makes it appealing to anyone fond of coastal lifestyles.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
