Houses with large lots and New England architecture
Homes here include classic New England architecture, such as colonial-inspired homes and Cape Cods. They come with shingled roofs and paved driveways, some made of cobblestone, as well as garage spaces for parking. Due to the area being more rural, some properties feature larger lot sizes. Houses sit on green lawns with plenty of shrubs and trees as decoration. Although the neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, residents still walk or bike on the side of the road. Prices start at 550,000 and go up to 850,000.
Enjoying the scenery at Grays Mill Pond
The entrance to Grays Mill Pond is hidden: Visitors have to park in Westport and then make their way down into the trail. Although there are only 0.5 miles to hike, the mud, stone and uneven terrain make it a more difficult task. However, anyone who has seen the pond's seasonal flowers in bloom will know that the trek is worthwhile. "It's such a quiet and scenic area. There's so much nature around us," says Pitts. "You're in your own little bubble, away from all the hustle." Walking east on Adamsville Road leads to the Westport Woods Conservation Park, which has over 80 acres of protected habitats and wildlife. Residents can walk on the 3 miles of trails shaded by trees or throw around a frisbee on the open fields. There's also a playground, but not in a traditional sense — instead, there's a discovery garden and wood instruments for kids to explore.
Famous graduates from Westport High School
Westport Elementary enrolls nearly 450 students in grades 1-4, maintaining a student-teacher ratio of 14 to 1. Niche rated the school a B-minus overall. Westport Middle and Westport High are located in the same building, meaning that students in grades five through 12 all attend classes in one place. Enrollment numbers reach around 850 students, but there's still a student-teacher ratio of 12 to 1. The combined school opened in 2021 after completing a $97 million renovation. The middle and high school receives a B-minus from Niche overall. Notable alums include Black Francis, leader of the landmark indie rock band the Pixies.
Attending The World's Shortest St. Paddy's Day Parade
The World's Shortest St. Paddy's Day Parade started as a joke between two friends in 2022. Over the years, it's slowly transformed into a new tradition for Adamsville. People living in Little Compton and even as far as Boston come to join in on the festivities. The parade is only 89 feet long, but it features musical acts, local businesses and small floats. Afterward, festival-goers fill up on corned beef and cabbage from Bootleg BBQ.
Traveling with State Routes 81 and 179
There are no public transportation options within the neighborhood; residents rely on cars to get around. However, several roads are nearby: State Route 81 to the east and Route 179 to the west. These take residents further into Little Compton or out to other major cities nearby, such as Providence and Boston.
Shopping & dining in Adamsville
There are no big-brand retailers in Adamsville. Instead, residents stop by local shops in the area, such as Adamsville Wine & Spirits or Adamsville Herbs. The most popular destination is The Barn, a breakfast and brunch restaurant operating since 1987. Literally housed in a two-story barn, the establishment is known for items such as French toast, eggs benedict and pumpkin pancakes. For groceries, locals travel outside of the neighborhood to places like Lee's Market.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
