Bliss Corners
Suburban Neighborhood in Tiverton, Rhode Island
Newport County 02878
Hillside homes and babbling brooks
Drive Bliss Corner’s two-lane roads and find homes tucked between dense trees. On the neighborhood’s small, sloping hills, views of Stafford Pond or surrounding creeks might be visible in pocket vistas. For $300,000 to $400,000, buyers might find a three-bedroom Cape Cod or ranch-style home. A four-bedroom Colonial-Revival property with modern interiors will run between $500,000 and $600,000. For $700,000 and up, houses typically sit on half an acre or more and might back up to Strafford Pond. McNally says, “The pond is accessible to everyone, and the public can use electric motorboats. But, if you live on the lake, you can have a gas motor.”Playtime on the pond
Stafford Pond sits at the center of the neighborhood. Aside from a few large coves on the north end, it’s broad and open, almost 2 miles long and over half a mile wide. From a cement ramp, locals can launch their boats into the water. Known as one of the best fisheries in the state, Realtor Rachel McNally with Century 21 Shoreline Properties says, “The pond is stocked with trout. Locals love to go fishing there.” Bulgarmarsh Park, south of the pond, features a playground, two basketball courts, a skate park and a softball field, where two different adult recreational leagues are hosted.Across from the park is the Raymond F. Jones Memorial Dog Park, which includes fenced-in play areas with obstacles for pups to challenge themselves. Adjacent to the dog park is the new 24,000 square foot Tiverton Public Library. Located near Tiverton Middle and High Schools, it was designed to be a gathering place for the neighborhood. The library has a community meeting hall, teen room, children's library and exterior courtyards. Locals are also about 5 miles from Mt. Hope Bay, where they can enjoy waterfront activities like fishing, paddleboarding and sailing.
Small-town student life
Students are zoned for the Tiverton School District and can attend Ranger Elementary School, which has a 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio, before moving to Tiverton Middle School, with an 11-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Both schools receive B-plus ratings from Niche. To finish their public education, children can attend Tiverton High School, which has an 11-to-1 student-teacher ratio and receives a B rating from Niche. In addition to standard coursework, the high school requires that students take a financial literacy class to graduate.Feeding the inner Muse
Sandywood Center for the Arts, located on Muse Way, is a nonprofit concert venue that hosts live music every week, year-round. The diverse schedule presents bands from folk and country to jazz and rock. The venue seats about 400 people, and patrons are welcome to bring beer, snacks or dinner to enjoy during the show.Going beyond the borders
Rhode Island State Route 24 runs along the neighborhood to the east and will lead locals about 5 miles into Fall River, Massachusetts. Around the state line, about 3 miles north of the neighborhood, there are bus stops that lead to surrounding areas.Frozen treats and fine art
"Tiverton has some great ice cream; Grey’s Ice Cream is a popular spot,” says McNally. At Grey’s Ice Cream, patrons walk up to the window and order their treat from a quaint building with clapboard siding. On William S. Canning Boulevard, 3 miles north ofFour Corners is a historic 18th-century New England Village that’s a great place to spend a weekend afternoon window shopping. Find local restaurants and boutiques tucked inside wooden and stone Colonial buildings. McNally says, “The area has local businesses, historic churches and art galleries. My aunt, a wood carver, has been featured in gallery shows.”
