20th and 21st century homes in Pascoag-Harrisville
Many of the homes in Pascoag-Harrisville are small cottages perched along the shoreline of the 325-acre Pascoag Reservoir. Further from the reservoir, narrow, largely unlined roads wind through the country, leading to farmhouses with large front porches. In the village of Harrisville itself, stately colonials line walkable streets. History runs deep in Burrillville, which is named after former Rhode Island senator and abolitionist James Burrill. Many of the homes built in the early 1900s still stand; however, major development took place between the 1970s and 1990s, and some homes were built in the early 2000s. Most three-to-four-bedroom homes sell for around $400,000, while newly built condos run around $250,000 for a two-bedroom.

Pascoag-Harrisville is an area where people shop locally by preference as well as necessity. Chain and franchise locations are limited to the CVS and Dunkin’ Donuts located in the heart of Pascoag. Small local markets like Brigido's Fresh Market offer grocery essentials. “It’s the perfect little market if you want to stop and grab a rotisserie chicken or something like that, but most people do the bulk of their shopping in nearby towns or get groceries delivered to them,” Moore says. For dining and nightlife, however, local restaurants and bars are abundant in the neighborhood, and many places, such as Elayna's, offer nightly entertainment ranging from karaoke to DJs. Bravo Brewing Company offers beer and hard seltzers on tap and hosts live music on weekends.

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.
