Boston Property Report — 2026-08-08

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation · fresh search, no day-over-day deltas

30 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (21 active, 8 pending, 1 contingent) — Rehoboth MA is again deepest at 15 but fails the 10-minute rail rule, Norwood MA returns a single already-under-contract listing and zero active inventory, and Sharon MA is unusually strong this run with three actives including an ANR-approved 2.12-acre homesite that already carries an engineered 5-bedroom septic design. The cheapest buildable entries are 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA at $100,000 (contingent, and the only corridor parcel with water/sewer/electric confirmed at the street) and 145 Winthrop St, Rehoboth MA at $225,000; utilities are unconfirmed on essentially every other corridor parcel. 8 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus one Matunuck mobile-home park to watch and 2 hard-excluded no-rental cottage colonies, with 77 Huron St, Warwick RI at $249,000 the cheapest entry and North Kingstown RI the only sub-market reliably inside the 15-minute rail radius; Narragansett RI's 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains frozen under injunction with no 2026 ruling found, and the statewide 5% RI whole-home short-term-rental tax is confirmed in force since 2026-01-01.

Search criteria

Section 1 — corridor land & homes: 0.75–5.0 acres inclusive; vacant/buildable land, teardown-grade property, or existing single-family homes; public water and sewer at the street preferred but never disqualifying; ≤10 min to an MBTA Providence/Stoughton line station; ≤15 min hospital, ≤30 min highly rated library, ≤30 min Planet Fitness. Towns: Canton MA, Stoughton MA, Sharon MA, Norwood MA, Mansfield MA, Attleboro MA, Rehoboth MA (02769). The manufactured-home requirement was dropped from this section on 2026-07-31.
Section 2 — beach-area weekly rental buys: properties to purchase and then rent out by the week — condos, duplexes/two-families, mobile/manufactured homes, and small-square-footage houses or cottages. Near beaches and within roughly 15 minutes of a southern-end Providence/Stoughton line station, in areas where weekly vacation rentals are already established.
All drive times below are estimates, not routed measurements.

Norwood MA has zero active inventory in the 0.75–5.0 acre band this run. The single in-band listing (230 Richland Rd, Norwood MA) is already under contract, and Norwood's other nearby parcels — 0 Deerfield Rd at 6.21 ac and 0 Quail Run at 0.58 ac — fall outside the band and are pending regardless. Three independent sources show the same thin Norwood inventory, so this is a real result rather than a search gap.

Mansfield MA inventory is genuinely thin this run — only two qualifying listings against fifteen in Rehoboth MA. That reflects real supply, not a search gap: the Mansfield feed carried 52 properties before filtering, most either far outside the acreage band or in neighboring towns.

Rehoboth MA (02769) — flagged: fails the 10-minute rail rule

Rehoboth MA sits roughly 18–22 estimated minutes from the nearest Providence/Stoughton line station (Attleboro MA or South Attleboro MA) and therefore fails the ≤10-minute rail criterion. It is included deliberately because it carries by far the deepest qualifying inventory. Rehoboth is also largely unsewered — private well and septic are the townwide norm, so no parcel below should be assumed to have public water or sewer at the street.

Section 2 — RI beach-area weekly rental buy candidates

Properties to purchase and then offer as weekly rentals — not places to rent. Condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes and small cottages only; no estates or large luxury homes.

No qualifying condo, duplex, cottage or mobile-home listings surfaced this run in Bonnet Shores RI or Saunderstown RI. Bonnet Shores is a private beach-club neighborhood dominated by larger single-family homes, and Saunderstown inventory skews to larger waterfront houses — both are outside the small-footprint criteria rather than simply missing.

Weekly rental rate benchmarks (peak season)

Area	Typical weekly rate range (peak)	Basis	Source
Narragansett RI	~$3,700–$6,200/wk (ADR ~$538/night across all listings; houses ~$885/night, cottages ~$503/night)	AirDNA market averages, all STR types	AirDNA Narragansett
South Kingstown / Wakefield / Matunuck RI	~$3,600–$5,500/wk (nightly $531–$783 depending on source; cottages ~$518/night)	Mixed cottages and houses, aggregate market data	Awning South Kingstown
Jamestown RI	~$2,760–$3,800/wk (ADR ~$394/night; premium July–August units book weekly-only at $543–$1,399/night)	AirDNA plus individual weekly listings	AirDNA Jamestown
Warwick RI shore (Oakland Beach, Conimicut, Buttonwoods, Warwick Neck)	~$1,840/wk citywide average (ADR ~$263/night across 124 active listings); waterfront cottages run higher	AirDNA citywide average, all types	AirDNA Warwick
North Kingstown / Wickford / Saunderstown RI	Very wide, roughly $360–$21,000+/wk nightly-derived; no reliable town-specific weekly average could be isolated — directional only	Aggregate nightly range across listing platforms	VacationRenter North Kingstown

These are blended whole-market averages across all property types. The small condos and cottages in the table above typically land at or below the midpoint of each range — run per-address comps before underwriting anything.

Short-term rental rules by town

Narragansett RI — unsettled. The 2024 ordinance capping STR permits (1,100 initially, stepping toward 900 by September 2026) and banning stays under 7 nights was challenged by Narragansett 2100; in October 2024 Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter granted a restraining order and preliminary injunction. As of this August 2026 search no source indicates the litigation has been resolved — the ordinance remains enjoined and unenforced and the case is still described as ongoing. Treat Narragansett STR legality as unsettled and confirm current court status with an RI real-estate attorney before closing. Boston Globe · WPRI
South Kingstown RI (incl. Wakefield and Peace Dale) — Short-Term Residential Rental Registry adopted April 2024. Registration with the Building Official required before letting; $100 annual fee due December 31, $300 late fee, fines to $500; lease and registration must be posted at the unit entrance. No ban and no permit cap. Town notice
Jamestown RI — Registration required since August 2023: $350/year, building inspection every 3 years and fire marshal every 2, occupancy capped at 2 per bedroom plus 2, one parking space per bedroom plus one, and a local RI-resident contact who must respond within 2 hours. Three or more violations in 12 months can revoke the permit. No ban. Jamestown Press
Warwick RI — Comprehensive ordinance passed February 2023: STRs are a permitted use in residential and mixed-use zones and prohibited in commercial and industrial zones. Online registration, owner affidavit, smoke/CO detectors and extinguishers, no outdoor fires, grills 10 ft from structures, and guest records retained 180 days. No cap, no ban. WarwickPost
North Kingstown RI (incl. Wickford and Saunderstown) — no dedicated STR registration ordinance found as of this search. Council members have publicly discussed wanting oversight but nothing confirmed adopted. Verify directly with North Kingstown town hall before purchase; this could change. The Independent
Statewide Rhode Island — 5% whole-home STR tax: confirmed still in force. Effective January 1, 2026, RI imposes a 5% state tax on short-term rental of a residential dwelling rented in its entirety, separate from the existing 5% state hotel tax and on top of the local lodging tax, which itself doubled to 2% for 2026. Combined state and local tax on a whole-home weekly rental can now reach roughly 13–14%. Factor this directly into income projections. RI Division of Taxation notice

Hard exclusions — look perfect, cannot be rented

Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — seasonal leased-land cottage community open from the first Friday in May through October 15. Community rules explicitly prohibit renting the cottages. Confirmed again this run. Beach Meadow Inc.
Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — 377-cottage community, historically on leased land, where renting is not allowed in order to preserve the family-oriented generational character. On October 29, 2025 the Roy Carpenter's Beach Association purchased the underlying land, converting the community to association ownership — but the no-rental rule was not changed and remains in place. Confirmed again this run. Turn to 10

Coverage & caveats

Every drive time on this page is an estimate derived from general road geography, not a routed measurement. Verify with a mapping tool before making an offer.
Utilities are the weakest data on this page. Only 0 Britton Ave, Stoughton MA states electric, sewer and water at the street, and only 376 Mountain St, Sharon MA carries an engineered septic design. Every other corridor parcel is marked unconfirmed rather than dropped. Rehoboth MA is a townwide well-and-septic market with no municipal system, so no Rehoboth parcel should be assumed served.
Zoning is unverified at parcel level. No listing page supplied a confirmed zoning district or minimum lot size; all zoning notes are town-level context. Call the relevant Building or Planning Department before pursuing any subdivision or teardown plan.
Source access this run: LandSearch, LandWatch and Land.com rendered fully and supplied most of the corridor inventory. Zillow unexpectedly served usable server-side listing data this run rather than being JS-gated, and surfaced several listings the land sites missed. Redfin was JS-gated for the Canton/Stoughton/Sharon/Norwood cluster and returned only boilerplate summary text with no addresses or prices, so Redfin inventory across all seven towns is unconfirmed; Redfin's own summary implies at least a few uncounted land listings in Canton MA alone. Realtor.com was blocked by the fetch provenance restriction and is likewise unconfirmed for Mansfield MA, Attleboro MA and Rehoboth MA.
Section 2 source access: Airbnb, VRBO and several Zillow per-listing detail pages could not be fetched directly; where that happened, figures come from search-result summaries rather than a retrieved page. Redfin's Warwick multi-family search returned out-of-town addresses and was set aside in favor of Homes.com. The Blackbeards on Matunuck rental policy could not be confirmed — its source page exceeded retrievable size — and is flagged for direct follow-up with the park office.
52 Round Farm Rd, Rehoboth MA appears twice under two distinct listings: the improved 1.5-acre home at $1,100,000 and a separate vacant 1.51-acre Lot 1 at $275,000. Both are retained because they are genuinely distinct listings with distinct source URLs, likely a subdivided or adjacent parcel from the same seller.
This run is a fresh search. No day-over-day comparison, and nothing is marked new, price-dropped or gone.
