Home prices and the local architecture scene
Most homes in Hope were built between 1900 and the 1940s, with details like hardwood floors, decorative moldings and roomy front porches. Single-family options include Victorians, Colonials and Cape Cods, many of which have been updated while still preserving their original character. Double and triple decker properties are also common throughout the community. “It’s mostly beautiful Victorian multifamily properties with 9-10 ft. ceilings, big windows and natural light,” says Rhode Island Realtor Albert Hajdaraj.

For single-family homes, you can expect to pay anywhere from the high $500,000s to the mid-$800,000s, while multifamily investment properties range from the low $800,000s to the high $900,000s.
