Peaceful fishing town atmosphere in Wickford Point
In Wickford Point, sailboats dot the harbor and colonial architecture lines the shore. It’s a place where fishing boats provide seafood for waterfront restaurants and people know their neighbors. Located on Narragansett Bay, the neighborhood has a great school system and numerous public transport options. “Wickford is a little fishing town,” says Dan Harding, a Realtor with Lila Delman Compass with 20 years of experience selling in the area. “You’re surrounded by water but can easily hop on the highway to get to Providence or other surrounding areas.”

Outdoor activities on the water and on foot in Wickford Point
Cocumscussoc State Park is in the center of the neighborhood. An undeveloped park, it lacks maintained trails or annual clean-ups. Visitors can hike 3 miles of unmarked path or, during hunting season, go hunting in required blaze orange. Wilson Park spans almost 50 acres, borders the coast and is walkable from some homes in the neighborhood. Visitors can take their children to the playground or walk on various trails. Basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, baseball and softball fields and courts occasionally host recreational sporting leagues. Visitors can also launch their kayak or canoe from the park’s boat launch. “If you want a taste of the water, this neighborhood has an awful lot,” says Harding. Kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing are incredibly popular here. “The water is calm in the bay,” says Harding. “You can kayak or paddleboard to little islands or sandbars.” Newport, which is just across the bay, is the sailing capital of the world, and many residents store their boats in marinas along the shore.

New England-style architecture in Wickford Point
Buyers can find modest, single-family homes – ranch-style properties or Cape Cods – starting around $400,000, while more expansive properties, especially those with bay views, climb into the millions. Further inland, for $500,000 to $700,000, expect Colonial Revival properties with well-maintained yards. Closer to the coast, yard sizes get smaller, and prices get higher. Starting in the high $900,000 range, these properties include classic New England architectural features, like clapboard siding, bay windows and decorative gables. "The market is very healthy," says Harding. "If priced right, homes will sell swiftly."
