Touisset
Suburban Neighborhood in Swansea, Massachusetts
Bristol County 02777
New England architecture
Homes here include classic New England architecture, such as Cape Cods, ranch-style and colonial-inspired designs. Some areas still have cottages, back from when Touisset properties served as a summer retreat in the 1900s. Most come with manicured green lots and driveways. There are no sidewalks, but families often go for walks or bike around the neighborhood. "There are many historic homes here, and larger and newer renovations happening by the waterfront. It just depends on what area you're in." Alvarez says. Prices start at $400,000 and can climb as high as $900,000 for newly renovated properties.
Boating and yachting at the Marina
Locals enjoy visiting Swansea Town Beach with their family members, which comes with a playground and public restroom open to all. However, some residents say the sand is too pebbly from rocks and seashells, so wearing flip-flops is recommended. For boating and yachting, seafarers head to the Swansea & Cole River Marina, located at Ocean Grove. The closest green space is the Touisset Marsh Wildlife Refuge, a 66-acre preserve open 24/7, meaning residents can enjoy the great outdoors any time of the year. Wildlife is abundant here: Several species of bird can be spotted, or the occasional red fox and harbor seal. "It's a nice place to go and unwind," says Alvarez. "It's an easy walk; the trail loops around the entire area, so you get to see everything."
An impressive marching band
Hugh Cole Elementary enrolls over 500 students from PK-5, with a student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1. The school is considered a Feinstein Learning School, part of a Rhode Island initiative to encourage community service. Niche rated the school a B-minus overall. Kickemuit Middle has 700 students enrolled in Grades 6-8 and receives a B overall. Over 900 students in Grades 9-12 attend Mount Hope High. Its marching band participates in the Fourth of July Parade every year. The high school receives a B-minus overall.
Touisset Country Club’s 9-hole course
Those looking to test their swing can head to the Touisset Country Club, a family-owned and operated establishment since 1961. The country club features a 9-hole golf course designed by Raymond H. Brigham. The club also serves as a venue for special occasions: weddings, birthday parties, school dances and photo shoots are hosted here.
I-195 and State Route 103
Touisset homeowners rely heavily on cars to get around. To the north of the neighborhood is State Route 103, which connects to Interstate 195. Residents take these routes to travel into major cities such as Providence, a 16-mile drive away, or Boston, about 60 miles away. The Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport is 23 miles from the neighborhood.
Shopping and dining near Touisset
Downtown Warren is a hub for shopping and dining options west of the neighborhood. Bookstores, coffee shops and art studios are on every corner. Some popular dining options include The Wharf, which serves seafood overlooking the water, and Blount Clam Shack, an outdoor restaurant known for its family-friendly atmosphere. "Downtown Warren is so much fun," says Alvarez. "Some of the best restaurants are here, especially around Main Street." Swansea also has great eats, like Jr's Seaside Tavern and Black Salt. Tom's Market and Stop & Shop in Warren are go-to places for groceries.Crime

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.
