Boston Property Report — 2026-07-31

39 qualifying corridor listings (0.75–5.0 ac) across Canton, Stoughton, Sharon, Norwood, Mansfield, Attleboro and Rehoboth — Norwood is effectively empty, Rehoboth carries the deepest inventory but 11 of its 21 are pending. On the rental side, 6 small beach-area buy candidates in RI; only North Kingstown and the Warwick shore genuinely clear the 15-minute rail radius, and Narragansett's short-term-rental ordinance is under a court injunction.

Section 1 criteria: 0.75–5.0 acres · vacant/buildable land, teardown-grade structures, or existing single-family homes · public water + sewer preferred (noted, not required) · ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton station · ≤15 min hospital · ≤30 min highly-rated library · ≤30 min Planet Fitness. The manufactured-home requirement has been dropped from this section.
Section 2 criteria: small, inexpensive properties to buy and rent by the week — condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes, small-square-footage cottages — in established weekly-rental beach areas within ~15 min of a Providence/Stoughton line station.

Excluded: Mansfield 451R Gilbert St (27.67 ac, under contract) and 1125 School St (now shows not listed for sale); Attleboro 18 North Ave (legal 2-family) plus seven parcels over 5 ac and several under 0.75 ac.

Rehoboth (02769)

Reference points: Sturdy Memorial Hospital (Attleboro) · Blanding Free Public Library (in town) · South Attleboro or Attleboro station · Planet Fitness, 140 Taunton Ave, Seekonk. Rehoboth zoning (Ch. 270 Art. V §270-5.1) sets a 60,000 sf (1.38 ac) minimum lot in the Residence/Agricultural district. Rehoboth is a well/septic town throughout — treat all utilities as private unless a listing says otherwise. Station drive times here run ~18–22 min, well outside the 10-minute rail criterion.

No usable inventory: Jamestown (median list ~$1.1M; cheapest condos $695k) and Bonnet Shores (only vacant land $105k–$189k and a 32 sf beach-club cabana).

Weekly Rental Rate Benchmarks

Area	Observed rates	Source
Narragansett	ADR ~$538/night at 65% occupancy (~$3,700–$3,800/week); ~$25.6k avg monthly revenue for active listings	AirDNA · Narragansett Properties
South Kingstown / Matunuck	$233/night (Rabbu) to $518–$604/night (VRBO-based, ~$3,600–$4,200/week) — spread reflects small cottages vs larger houses	VRBO Matunuck

Short-Term Rental Rules by Town

Narragansett — contested. 2024 ordinance caps STR permits (1,100 → 900 by 2026) with registration and $375–$750 annual permit fees. Landlord group sued; Superior Court granted a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement in Oct 2024 and the litigation remains unresolved. Registration was still being collected into 2025 ($120/unit). Buy here expecting policy risk. Boston Globe · Town Q&A
South Kingstown — registration required, not banned. Rental Registry (Town Code §9-200–210), $100/yr, $300 late fee. No unit cap found. Town page
North Kingstown — no dedicated local ordinance found. Discussed but not adopted; relies on state DBR registration and zoning. Confirm current status with NK Building/Zoning before buying. The Independent
Jamestown — permitted but paperwork-heavy. $350/yr, building + fire inspections, local RI contact with 2-hr response, parking and occupancy caps; council may deny for cause and reserves the right to cap permits. Jamestown Press
Warwick — permitted by right in residential/mixed-use village zones, banned in commercial/industrial. City registration, 180-day guest log, safety equipment; fines to $500/day. No cap. City page
Statewide, effective Jan 1 2026: new 5% RI whole-home STR tax on entire homes/condos rented ≤30 days, plus local hotel tax up from 1% to 2%. Bake into any income model.

Coverage & Caveats

Zillow and Redfin are JavaScript-gated and were not scraped. Homes.com, LandSearch, LandWatch, Land.com, Compass, Coldwell Banker and RILiving were used instead — all draw from the same MLS PIN / RI MLS feeds, so overlap is high, but a handful of platform-exclusive or FSBO listings per town may be missed.
All drive times are estimates based on road geography — no live routing tool was used. Verify exact minutes before acting.
No corridor listing except 75 Fowler St (Mansfield) and 1234 Commerce Way (Attleboro) explicitly confirms public water AND public sewer. Several explicitly reference perc tests or septic designs, which implies no public sewer at that parcel.
Rehoboth's ~18–22 min station drive times fail the 10-minute rail criterion; it is included because it carries the deepest qualifying inventory and has been part of this search.
The named beach towns with the most established weekly-rental market (Narragansett, Matunuck, Bonnet Shores) run 20–30 min from Wickford Junction, not 15. North Kingstown/Wickford and the Warwick shore villages are the only areas that genuinely clear the 15-minute radius.
Rental-rate sources (AirDNA, Rabbu, Awning, Hichee) disagree with each other by wide margins. Treat all figures as directional benchmarks, not underwriting numbers.
Craigslist, FSBO, LandFlip and auction channels were checked and returned no confirmed matches; several are JS-heavy, so this is a soft gap rather than a confirmed zero.
