Boston Property Report — 2026-08-12

Furlong PA → Boston Area relocation. Fresh search each run — no day-over-day deltas. All drive times are estimates.

21 qualifying corridor listings across all seven in-scope towns (14 active, 7 pending) — Rehoboth MA is again by far the deepest at 10, but every Rehoboth parcel fails the 10-minute rail rule at an estimated 18–22 minutes, while Attleboro MA and Mansfield MA each return exactly one confirmed in-band listing, which is genuine market thinness rather than a search shortfall after paging the full LandSearch inventory for both towns (98 and 53 properties). The cheapest entry by a wide margin is 156 Rocky Hill Rd, Rehoboth MA at $229,000, an active vacant buildable 2.0-acre lot, and the strongest all-round parcel is 32 Thayer Farm Rd, Attleboro MA at $739,000 — 2.1 acres with a new 5-bedroom septic system, oil tank and generator, and the only corridor listing this run that clears all four amenity rules at an estimated 10–12 minutes to Attleboro Station and 8–10 minutes to Sturdy Memorial. Only two corridor parcels have any public utility confirmed at all: 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA (public water at street, private septic) and 100 S Main St, Attleboro MA in the duplex section (public water and sewer). Norwood Hospital is re-confirmed still closed — the rebuild is roughly 75% complete and Massachusetts signed an eminent-domain law on 2026-08-07 to force a conveyance to a nonprofit operator, with two operators reportedly in talks, but there is no functioning ER on site and no reopening date, so the 15-minute hospital criterion continues to fail for Sharon MA and Norwood MA at an estimated 15–25 minutes and keeps arguing for the Attleboro/Mansfield end of the corridor. 13 RI beach-area rental buy candidates plus 2 hard-excluded no-rental cottage colonies, with 165 Canfield Ave, Warwick RI at $249,900 the cheapest entry and the Oakland Beach pocket of Warwick RI supplying six sub-$470,000 small cottages; zero on-MLS mobile or manufactured homes exist in any target beach town this run, and a $175,000–$225,000 pair at 175 Bonnet Point Rd, Narragansett RI is flagged and excluded as 16–32-square-foot cabana units rather than dwellings. Narragansett RI still posts the best rental economics at a $545 average daily rate on 65% occupancy across 1,067 tracked listings, but its 2024 permit-cap ordinance remains unenforced under a Superior Court injunction with the town council last seen in December 2025 trying to re-codify it as zoning and no resolution found since, so the practical rule today is the old $120/unit registration; the statewide 5% RI whole-home short-term-rental tax and the 1%-to-2% local hotel tax increase are both confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. The duplex section returns 30 verified two-unit properties — 12 in the MA corridor (Attleboro MA deepest at 4, from $525,000) and 18 in RI, concentrated in Warwick RI at 9 and Warren RI at 4 — with Sharon MA, Mansfield MA and North Kingstown RI all returning confirmed zero duplex inventory.

Criteria

Section 1 — Corridor land & homes: 0.75–5.0 acres inclusive; vacant/buildable, teardown-grade, or existing single-family. Public water AND sewer at 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. Rehoboth MA is included flagged despite failing the rail rule. The manufactured-home requirement is dropped from this section.
Section 2 — Beach-area weekly rental buys: properties to purchase and rent out by the week. Condos, duplexes, mobile/manufactured homes, small cottages — not estates. Near beaches and within ~15 min of a Providence/Stoughton line station, in areas where weekly vacation rentals are already established.
Section 3 — Dwelling-unit duplexes: two separate living units with private entrances, owner-occupant strategy. Full Section 1 + Section 2 geography. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count.

Norwood Hospital — status re-verified this run

Norwood Hospital remains closed, flood-damaged since June 2020. As of August 2026 the rebuild is roughly 75% complete but not operating. On 2026-08-07 Governor Healey signed legislation enabling an eminent-domain seizure from owner Medical Properties Trust to convey the site to a nonprofit operator, and two hospital operators are reportedly in active talks — but no reopening date exists and there is no functioning ER on site. Effect on the ≤15-minute hospital rule: Norwood MA and Sharon MA addresses cannot currently meet it; the nearest open EDs are Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital–Milton and Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton, realistically 15–25 minutes depending on the exact address. Stoughton MA is generally within or near the 15-minute band to Good Samaritan; Canton MA is borderline at an estimated 15–20 minutes. Sources: WBUR, CBS Boston, Boston Globe.

Small-square-footage houses — Warwick RI shore (Oakland Beach)

Sourced from the Zillow Oakland Beach, Warwick RI search page (56 active results). Individual detail pages were not opened for each row, so HOA/fee and STR detail below the card level is unconfirmed. The waterfront estates in that same result set (up to $4.7M) are out of scope and excluded.

Mobile / manufactured homes

Zero confirmed on-MLS inventory in any target beach town this run. Rhode Island's statewide mobile-home inventory (25 active listings) shows units only in Burrillville RI, Westerly RI, Cumberland RI and Coventry RI — none in Narragansett RI, South Kingstown RI, North Kingstown RI, Jamestown RI or the Warwick RI shore. The two Westerly RI units at 118 Dunns Corner Rd (#240 at $165,500 and #79 at $65,000) sit outside the target geography and are noted but not counted. Source: Zillow RI mobile homes. The only cottage-community inventory in the target towns is the leased-land seasonal stock at Roy Carpenter's and Mary Carpenter's — both hard-excluded below.

Flagged and excluded — not real dwelling inventory

175 Bonnet Point Rd #J6 and #N16, Narragansett RI — listed at $175,000 and $225,000 as "condos" but recorded at 16–32 square feet, which is not a livable unit. Almost certainly cabana or locker-style units at a beach-club condo association. Excluded pending manual verification. Zillow

Weekly rental rate benchmarks (directional)

AirDNA's public market overviews are open and were used; the granular dashboards (revenue by bedroom, neighborhood cuts, seasonality curves, top property managers) sit behind an app.airdna.co login and were not accessible. Figures below are market-wide averages, not property-specific.

Market	Active listings	Avg annual revenue	Occupancy	ADR	RevPAR	YoY trend	Source
Narragansett RI	1,067	$24.0K	65%	$545	$342	Listings −16.4%, revenue −11%, occupancy −9%, ADR +3.7%	AirDNA (updated 2026-08-05)
Wakefield RI (proxy for South Kingstown)	479	$24.8K	60%	$457	$261	Listings −5.3%, revenue −9.9%, ADR +13.2%	AirDNA (updated 2026-08-05)
North Kingstown RI, Jamestown RI, Bonnet Shores RI, Warwick RI shore	No dedicated AirDNA city page surfaced this run — no benchmark obtained. Gap noted rather than estimated.

How to read this: annual revenue ÷ 52 works out to roughly $460–$477 per week on a full-year denominator, but RI beach short-term rentals are heavily seasonal. Local agencies (Mott & Chace Vacation Rentals, Lila Delman) commonly quote $2,500–$5,500 per week for a 2–3 bedroom Narragansett or Wakefield cottage in July–August. Treat the AirDNA ADR as a smoothed annual figure, not peak-week pricing. The agency rate cards themselves were referenced by title in search results but not fetched, so the peak-week band is directional.

Short-term rental rules by town

Narragansett RI — still unresolved. The May 2024 ordinance set a declining permit cap (1,100 in 2024 → 1,000 in 2025 → 900 in 2026), a 7-night minimum stay, and an event/wedding ban. In October 2024 RI Superior Court Judge Sarah Taft-Carter granted a TRO and preliminary injunction in a Home Rule Amendment challenge brought by the landlord group Narragansett 2100, and enforcement has been paused ever since. The most recent confirmed reporting (Narragansett Times, 2025-12-19) has the Town Council reworking the ordinance to re-codify it as a zoning ordinance on the solicitor's advice, with no vote taken and no resolution date. Nothing newer than December 2025 could be found, so as of 2026-08-12 the cap appears to remain unenforced heading into the 2026 season and the operative rule is the town's older registration ordinance (Sec. 14-518–520, $120/unit). Treat Narragansett as regulatorily uncertain — a real risk factor, not paperwork. Sources: Boston Globe, WPRI, Narragansett Times, ordinance text.
Statewide RI 5% whole-home STR tax — confirmed in force since 2026-01-01. Applies to short-term rentals of an entire residential dwelling for 30 nights or fewer. The local hotel tax also doubled from 1% to 2% statewide on the same date. Both apply based on date of occupancy, not booking. Also effective 2026-01-01: STR operators must complete annual human-trafficking-awareness training, and ADUs remain statutorily barred from transient/STR use. Sources: RI Division of Taxation Notice 2025-09, Advisory 2025-16, RI Association of Realtors.
Jamestown RI — has an active, functioning ordinance, unlike Narragansett: 126 licensed STRs as of 2026, $350/yr fee, biennial fire and building inspection, occupancy capped at 2 per bedroom plus 2, an RI-resident local representative with a 2-hour response requirement, and 1 parking space per bedroom plus 1. The council reserves the right to cap total permits but has not done so. Jamestown Press
South Kingstown RI (incl. Wakefield and Matunuck) — annual STR registration required; $300 late fee; fines up to $500 for violations.
North Kingstown RI (incl. Wickford and Saunderstown) — no dedicated STR registry; regulated through zoning, building and assessor processes. STR use can affect homestead tax exemption status; confirm with Building/Zoning before purchase.
Warwick RI — no dedicated STR ordinance surfaced this run; contact town offices directly before committing.
Statewide baseline, every town: DBR registration is required before listing on any platform, and the registration number and expiration must appear on the listing (R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-63.1-14).

Hard exclusions — cheap beach cottages that cannot legally be rented

Roy Carpenter's Beach, 240 Cards Pond Rd, South Kingstown RI — confirmed from the association's own site: "To maintain our family atmosphere, no renting is allowed in our community." 377 cottages, leased land, seasonal (Memorial Day to Labor Day). On 2025-10-29 the Roy Carpenter's Beach Association purchased the underlying land from the Carpenter family, shifting to community ownership — but the no-rental rule is unchanged. roycarpenters.com
Mary Carpenter's Beach Meadow, 854 Matunuck Beach Rd, South Kingstown RI — seasonal cottage community on leased land (first Friday in May to October 15). The association's own for-sale page states outright on active listings: "On leased land, cannot be rented" (Site 23, $170,000) and "This cottage sits on leased land and cannot be rented, making it the perfect private escape for your personal use" (Site 30, $235,000). Two other current listings (Site 96 trailer at $125,000, Site 82 at $239,000) don't restate the clause in their ad copy but are presumed subject to the same covenant — confirm per-site with the office before assuming otherwise. carpentersbeachmeadowinc.com
Why this keeps mattering: both are exactly the kind of cheap, beach-adjacent bargain a buy-to-rent search surfaces — sub-$250,000, steps from the water, in an established vacation area — and the leased-land association bylaws make them dead ends for this strategy. Treat every leased-land cottage-association listing in this corridor with the same suspicion until rental rights are confirmed in writing.
55+ / age-restricted communities: none surfaced in the target towns this run.

Section 3 — Dwelling-Unit Duplexes

Owner-occupant strategy: a primary residence with immediate rental income from the second unit. No acreage cap, no price cap, no minimum room count. Rent estimates are directional and are the report's own, not the listing's, except where the listing states an NOI.

North Kingstown RI (incl. Wickford): zero active duplex or triplex listings — confirmed directly from the Zillow North Kingstown RI duplex page ("0 Homes"). A real and notable gap.

Barrington RI: a Zillow duplex category page exists but the listing count could not be confirmed by direct fetch — search snippets were contradictory. Treat as unconfirmed, likely low to zero given Barrington's overwhelmingly single-family character. Jamestown RI: snippets suggest roughly 2 duplex or triplex listings in 02835, but no address or URL was captured — unconfirmed. Bonnet Shores RI and Saunderstown RI: no duplex listings surfaced at all; likely zero, but this is an inference rather than a confirmed null.

Coverage & Caveats

Counts this run: Section 1 — 21 corridor listings (14 active, 7 pending). Section 2 — 13 RI beach-area buy candidates (7 condos, 6 Warwick shore cottages), plus 2 hard-excluded no-rental cottage colonies and 1 flagged non-dwelling. Section 3 — 30 verified duplexes (12 MA corridor, 18 RI) plus 1 three-family listed for reference only.
Confirmed zero-inventory results (valid results, not gaps): active in-band land in Norwood MA beyond one pending listing; duplexes in Sharon MA and Mansfield MA; duplexes in North Kingstown RI; mobile/manufactured homes anywhere in the target RI beach towns.
Zillow behaved atypically this run. Zillow pages returned server-rendered content through the fetch tool for the RI agent (unusual — it is normally JS-gated) and were used as the primary MLS-adjacent source for Section 2 and the RI part of Section 3. For the MA corridor agents Zillow was gated as usual. This asymmetry is worth noting: RI data this run leans harder on a single source than the MA data does.
Blocked or gated sources: Zillow, Redfin and Trulia were JS-gated for both MA corridor agents; Redfin returned only SEO boilerplate. Trulia could not be fetched at all (URL provenance restriction) despite snippets showing ~51 mobile/manufactured listings near Narragansett RI and 3 in South Kingstown RI. William Raveis, Century21, Hogan Associates, Berkshire Hathaway/Commonmoves and Mello Group all redirected to homepages or returned empty content. AirDNA's granular analytics app requires a login. Combined estimate of corridor inventory left unconfirmed: roughly 20–40 land parcels and 8–20 duplex/multi-family listings, plus an unknown amount of RI mobile-home and Redfin inventory.
Snippet-only leads deliberately kept out of the tables for lack of a confirmable working URL: 166 Chauncy St, Mansfield MA (~$799,900, 2-family, walk to Mansfield station, separate gas/electric meters — every brokerage detail URL rendered blank); 23 Colonial Way, Rehoboth MA (~$749,900, 2-family plus studio on 1 acre); 117 Austin Rd, 58 Essex Rd and 84 Narragansett St, Saunderstown RI (small houses, $349,900–$799,000); 193 Bonnet Shores Rd, Narragansett RI (URL known, specs not fetched). Also excluded as a likely search-engine conflation: 54 Church St and 28 Court St, Mansfield MA appear to describe the same Jackson Court three-family rather than two distinct duplexes.
Drive times are estimates throughout, derived from mapping distance rather than measured travel, and are not adjusted for peak-hour traffic.
Utilities are unconfirmed on the large majority of corridor parcels. Only 10 Cobbler Ln, Sharon MA (public water at street) and 100 S Main St, Attleboro MA (public water and sewer) have any public service explicitly confirmed this run. Per standing policy, unknown utilities never disqualify a listing.
Live-URL deploy verification was not independently performed this run — publication is verified at the commit level only.
