A hillside community overlooking the water
North Tiverton is a quiet community embedded into the side of a hill, with its houses overlooking the scenic waters of Mount Hope Bay. Compared to the busier vacation towns nearby, the area offers a more slow-paced, laid-back style of living. "People tend to stay here year-round. They're choosing this place as their primary residence; it's a place where you really settle down," says Connor Dowd, a Realtor and Rhode Island resident since 1998. "You've got relatively easy access to beaches, the major cities of Newport and Providence nearby, and some great restaurants as well." Because the town is surrounded by water, heading to the beaches for fishing or walking is an important element of everyday life. Part of North Tiverton's charm is its small-town feel. There are little to no big-name chain stores: most shops are local, and residents typically pick up groceries from small markets nearby. If residents can't find what they need in the neighborhood, they can always take Route 138 into Bristol or visit nearby cities for more amenities. Locals can even go as far as Boston for a day trip — the neighborhood is located at the border of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, so a drive into the Massachusetts capital is only about 57 miles away.

Ranches, colonials and Cape Cods
Homes take inspiration from the late 19th century, resulting in architectural styles such as ranches and Cape Cods. "I would say there's a mix of styles. There's ranches, a few colonials here and there, and a lot of Cape Cods, they're everywhere," Dowd says. "There's also some newer construction happening in the area, so you can find more modern homes and some houses with views of the water." Houses here were built into the hill, so they sit at the bottom or top of a slope. Most are single-story units with modest yard space and driveways for parking. The driveways also store boats — a reminder of nearby waterfronts and beaches. The area is walkable, but residents can expect a bit of a workout if they live on a steeper part of the hill. Prices range between $350,000 to $600,000.
