West Greenwich offers a country lifestyle
Tucked away in the heart of Rhode Island, West Greenwich, named after the historic town of Greenwich, England, emerges as a serene enclave. Here is where the rustic charm of New England meets an abundance of natural beauty. “West Greenwich is a more small-town vibe and is good for those looking for a country lifestyle,” says Marvin Webber, Realtor with RE/MAX, who has 6 years of experience in real estate and is a lifelong Rhode Islander. Surrounded by greenery on all sides, it’s a blend of elevated rural living just 25 miles away from the bustle of downtown Providence along Interstate 95. Central to the neighborhood’s desirability is its proximity to nature, excellent schools and nearby amenities.

House styles vary, and lots tend to be large
The landscape blends traditional and modern, with homes ranging from Colonial Revivals, ranch styles, Cape Cods and the occasional million-dollar modern farmhouse. “There is a lot of open space and farmland. Most homes sit on an acre or more, so it’s drawn people who work from home and don’t want to be bombarded by people,” Webber says. Large private lots averaging around 2 acres and sprawling green landscapes are characteristic of the area, providing ample space for gardens, play and relaxation. Here, homeowners display manicured front yards hidden by tall oaks. The average home price hovers in the upper 500,000s, ranging from small Split-Levels in the lower 300,000s to single-family custom-built homes with three-car garages in the $800,000s.

The area has kayak launches, trails and swimming holes
West Greenwich is a paradise for outdoor lovers, surrounded by acres of parks, nature preservations and hiking trails winding throughout the diverse terrain. The Big River Management Area, with its meandering paths and pristine waterways, is a great spot for hiking, kayaking, and observing wildlife, such as cottontail rabbits and foxes. It’s common to see locals hiking around the trails while letting their pups dive into the quarry for a quick swim. The neighboring Arcadia Management Area offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Here, you’ll find Stepstone Falls. Though not a large waterfall, it’s known as a peaceful destination for swimming hole seekers. Fishing enthusiasts can spend the afternoon at Beach Pond Management Area, hoping to catch a largemouth bass or catfish. The park spans about 430 acres, with amenities including a new boat ramp and floating dock for those looking to spend the day soaking up the sun on the water.
Forestry and forest management are a major export for the area throughout West Greenwich.

Locally owned businesses include a winery and a grocery store
Though modest, the town’s dining scene is rich in flavor and variety. Leyden Farm Vineyard & Winery is the place to go for an afternoon filled with wine tastings in a rustic and picturesque setting.
