Between Boston and Providence, Plainville offers small-town ease
Plainville is a laid-back town set along the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border. It’s home to approximately 10,000 people, and its location between Providence and Boston makes it ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life within reach of larger cities. I-95 is nearby, and commuters are roughly 18 miles from Providence and 38 miles from Boston. While Plainville offers city convenience, it maintains a small-town feel in its natural landscapes and growing town center known as Plainville Square. “It packs a good punch for being really small,” says Koury Signoriello, broker and owner of New World Realty and lead of the Koury Signoriello Real Estate Agents Group. Community parks, country clubs and events keep residents active throughout the year, and Plainville’s CAP Index crime score of 2 out of 10 is below the national median of 4.

Housing options include classic homes on wooded lots and condos
Plainville offers a variety of housing options and styles. Colonial Revival, split-level, raised ranch and ranch-style homes are the norm, and most properties sit on quiet, tree-lined streets. The median lot size is approximately half an acre, although homes range from a quarter acre to several acres, with larger lots located farther from the town center. Prices range from $400,000 to $880,000, and houses near Plainville’s country clubs and lakes typically fall at the higher end. “People like to live on golf courses. If the homes are on a golf course, they’re in general going to be a little more expensive,” Signoriello says. Condos sell for $250,000 to $430,000, and there are a few mobile home communities where prices fall between $130,000 and $330,000.

New treatment plant aims to fix Plainville’s water issues
Plainville’s drinking water currently exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency’s Maximum Contaminant Levels for six PFAS, known as “forever chemicals,” which can pose health risks. The town meets Massachusetts standards, but it does not yet comply with these stricter federal regulations that must be met by 2029. As of late 2025, Plainville has approved a new water treatment plant project to address the issue.
