Home prices draw people to the former mill community of Lippitt-Harris
Developed around an early 1800s textile mill, Lippitt-Harris is a suburban community where people can get a good deal on a home. Aging 19th- and 20th-century houses, a gritty commercial area along the Pawtuxet River and a semi-private country club are some of the hallmarks of this West Warwick neighborhood. “It’s primarily about the price point, and residents are driven by the need to be there,” says Jess Powers, associate broker with Real Broker LLC and a 20-year resident of Rhode Island. “If you work in southern Rhode Island, and you don’t want to deal with Providence traffic, West Warwick would be one of the areas to choose from.”

Locals can see and hear the Pawtuxet River from riverwalk, rail trail
Production at Lippitt Mill came from the Pawtuxet River, the industrial Rhode Island waterway that sits directly behind it. Outdoorsy neighbors will love the Phenix-Harris Riverwalk, a woodsy area where people can walk through the forest while they listen to the soft roar of the Pawtuxet. It’s a welcome respite from the grittiness of the rest of the neighborhood, almost like a little pocket of the outdoors in an unexpected place. The vast Pawtuxet also circles around Riverpoint Park, home to West Warwick Baseball league, basketball and tennis courts and a skate park for adventurous types. Bikers can hop on the Washington Secondary Trail, a 19-mile rail trail that runs parallel to the Pawtuxet for more than half its duration. Golfers can check out the semi-private West Warwick Country Club, where the public can play the nine-hole course during designated times. After a day on the green, people can grab wings and a freshly poured beer at the club’s restaurant and bar.

Bars operate in the old commercial district, with stores down the road
Lippitt-Harris shares its name with Lippitt Mill, one of the oldest cotton textile mills in Rhode Island. Built in 1809, the mill was a textile factory for about 150 years, and today it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mill is on Main Street, and it’s the central point of a gritty commercial area that includes laundromats, automotive services shops and bars operating out of buildings that look like houses. One of those bars, Deborah’s Down the Road, is a local watering hole where people shoot pool and play with the pinball machine. People start their days down the street at Phenix Square, a popular breakfast eatery with fresh coffee and friendly staff. All the necessities of life are right down the road from Lippitt-Harris. “There’s easy access to grocery stores and all the amenities you would want,” says Powers. Neighbors have grocery store options, including Target Grocery, Trader Joe’s, Price Rite and local chain Market Basket, all in nearby Warwick. Near the Warwick Mall, which is 3 miles away, neighbors can pick up essentials at Walmart, outdoor supplies at Dick’s Sporting Goods and clothes at Nordstrom Rack. On rainy days, people go to the movies at Apple Cinemas, which has all the latest releases. After a movie or shopping, people kick back with charcuterie boards and martinis at Cork and Rye Gastropub.
