Historic homes and waterfront properties in South Tiverton
The land that makes up the town of Tiverton was originally inhabited by the Pocasset Tribe of Wampanoags before it became home to a British colony in 1694. As a result, the area is a mix of new builds and homes that date back to the 1700s. “I think the historical backdrop of the area is a draw regardless,” Janes says. “You can find arrowheads in your front yard; I mean, how cool is that?” In South Tiverton, smaller one-story homes and historic colonials go for around $500,000 to $800,000. A lot of coastal properties hover around $900,000, and prices can get into the millions for large houses on big plots of land. There aren’t many sidewalks in South Tiverton, but there are historic rock walls, and nearly every house enjoys proximity to a bay, pond, or stream.
Many homes in the area have been well maintained over the years, and can average well over 50 years of age.

Nature preserves and beaches provide ample outdoor opportunities
Nature takes a front seat in this neighborhood, with several wildlife preserves right in the area. The Weetamoo Woods & Pardon Gray Preserve is one of the most popular spots for hiking and has trails wide enough for horseback riding. Head to Fogland Beach to see windsurfers, paddleboarders, and sunbathers on the rocky and sandy coast. And kids enjoy themselves at Tiverton Town Farm Recreation Area, which has an outdoor playground and sports fields. The Recreation Area is also the location of a weekly farmers market, which runs all year. In the winter, the market moves inside and is held at Tiverton Middle School.
The Old Harbor Wildlife Refuge contains two miles of hiking trails in Acoaxet.

Tiverton schools serve the South Tiverton community
When not full of fresh produce, Tiverton Middle School is attended by neighborhood kids and gets a B-plus rating from Niche. It is part of the Tiverton School District, which is known for its music programs, and has an initiative to give every kid access to their own Chromebook. Kids also attend Fort Barton Elementary School, which receives an A-minus score from Niche and Tiverton High School, which is ranked as the fourth-best school in Newport County.
In a small town, the school PTO is very active and is a common source of community. Janes also says, “South Tiverton has got that classic small-town atmosphere, where people really get involved in town government and make a community that way.” The local government has a wide variety of boards and commissions that advocate for everything from historic preservation to litter prevention.
Even later in the season, there is always a boat out on the water in Tiverton.
Fort Barton Elementary has a student teacher ratio of 12:1.

Tiverton Four Corners offer local businesses and restaurants
For shopping and dining, most residents will head to Tiverton Four Corners, a non-traditional shopping center that reflects the quaint historical vibe of the rest of the town. Walk around the area to explore the shops and galleries that populate the buildings of a historic village. Get homemade ice cream from Gray’s Ice Cream or grab locally roasted coffee at the Groundswell Café. And for a bit more of a modern feel, head up to Tiverton city center, where The Red Dory is a local favorite for date nights.
True to its rural roots, South Tiverton doesn’t have much in the way of public transportation or large grocery stores. Local places like Groundswell Table & Provisions offer a limited selection of gourmet tastes, but bigger groceries like Lees Market are 9 miles away. And big box stores like Walmart and Target are 20 miles away. But for those who don’t mind the idyllic country life, especially right next to the coast, South Tiverton is a quiet place with a variety of natural beauty.
